Harvest Hosts Is Boosting US Small Businesses By Connecting Them To Patriotic Travelers

As international travel patterns shift and Canadian boycotts impact American commerce, small businesses in the U.S. are calling for local support, and Harvest Hosts is answering the call.

Harvest Hosts is an online platform connecting RV travelers with unique stays across the U.S., offering a promising solution to bolster these businesses during trying times.

Harvest Hosts members can enjoy unlimited overnight stays — with no camping fees — small businesses such as family farms, wineries, breweries, golf courses and other local attractions, providing travelers with unique lodging experiences and business with direct patronage.

Travelers can explore nearly 10,000 host locations across the country, and filter for amenities such as water and electric hookups, same-day booking, and the ability to add extra nights.

According to CEO Joel Holland, the platform appeals to patriotic travelers looking to support American entrepreneurship directly, without middlemen or corporate chains.

In a significant boost to the small business economy, Harvest Hosts generated $50 million for these enterprises last year alone. From 2022 to 2024, the platform exceeded $150 million in revenue generated for its listed small businesses. Host businesses typically see annual earnings ranging from $15,000 to $20,000, highlighting the economic impact of this unique travel approach.

With a single patriotic road trip, RVers can directly boost small-town economies. This connection fosters not only tourism but also strengthens the foundation of American small business.
