Who we are and what we do
Over the past 16 years, the White Hutchinson Leisure & Learning Group has worked for 280 clients throughout the world on the feasibility, design and start-up of family and children's leisure facilities. We have worked in the agritainment/agritourism industry for more than 12 years with operators of farms that have farm markets, greenhouse operations, u-pick crops, farm restaurants, gift shops, animal petting and discovery farms for children, adventure corn mazes, and cultural, historical and Halloween attractions. We have assisted these clients with all aspects of development, design and management. Randy White, our CEO, has been a featured speaker at the NAFDMA (North American Farmers' Direct Marketing Association) convention and The MAiZE Site Owners' Conference.
