The pandemic that hit the whole world very quickly posed challenges to farmers. To save their economy, farmers had to respond quickly to all challenges, replacing direct sales with online sales, adopting new knowledge from digital tools and marketing, and opening new sales channels. The thesis presents traditional ways of selling local products and their function in the economy, types of direct sales and agritourism as part of sales. In addition to direct sales, there is talk about digital tools in sales and sales on social networks and what are the new knowledge and skills that farmers needed to adopt in order to save and improve their business. Agritourism is the future development of rural areas and branches that also sells agricultural products to guests and visitors. An example of a successful agritourism story is Stara Kapela, a village in Brod-Posavina County that can serve as an example to anyone who wants to engage in agritourism in the future. In addition to the Stara Kapela, the municipality of Strizivojna builds its tourist story on the famous Agatha Christie's novel "Murder in the Orient Express", in which train passed through Vinkovci and Slavonski Brod and the murder took place at the station of the municipality of Strzivojna. This example will certainly attract not only tourists from Croatia but also Europe to the small Slavonian region.
