Our History:

The Western Australia Agritourism Association was founded in 2024 by three passionate individuals: John Stanley of Chestnut Brae Farm in Nannup, Jan Stewart of Forage Safaris in Busselton, and Andy Burns of Scott Aussie Tourism Marketing in Manjimup. They recognised the potential of agritourism to contribute to the economic and social well-being of rural communities and set out to create a platform for collaboration and growth within the industry.
