Facing a prolonged grape surplus, some North Coast farm and vineyard operators in California are diversifying income through agritourism, including RV camping and farm stays. Mark and Tammy Lipps, owners of The Ripe Choice Farm Stay and Catering near Lakeport, relocated from Manhattan Beach in 2020 and now host weddings, cooking classes, and overnight guests on their six-acre property. Camping platforms like Hipcamp and Harvest Hosts have become a key revenue source, attracting travelers seeking rural experiences.
