Leisure agricultural tourism is now facing diversified business challenges, and thoughts on service design as well as methods and tools contribute to the innovation of sustainable business models. By exploring customers’ touchpoints on leisure farms and their core motivations to visit the farm, this paper proposes a method to integrate the application of target tools of touchpoints into the customer journey map and shows the service design framework of leisure farms’ management and organization. Finally, this paper puts forward five key requirements on touchpoints in leisure farms’ service innovation, so as to achieve reasonable resource deployment of marketing mix and promote the sustainable development of leisure farms.
