> Below is an announcement for an Extension-sponsored meeting on
>agritourism that may be of interest to you. Although I feel strongly
>that food production should, in itself, be profitable, here in central
>Maryland some farmers are looking toward entertainment to help keep
>their families profitable. Agritourism can be an option to help farm
>families with economic sustainability.

>Agritourism Meeting Scheduled
>
> If you want to add to your farm income, agritourism may be your
>answer. Pick-your-own fruit, a corn maze, fee fishing, or a bed and
>breakfast can help you sell the farm experience without selling the
>farm itself. Come to the day-long "Agritourism: A Farm Alternative"
>meeting on Saturday, March 4 in West Friendship, MD, to learn
>strategies for success.
> The meeting will be held at Nixon's Farm, a Howard County
>landmark known for its change from production agriculture to
>agritourism. Learn the "how-to's" of agritourism from successful
>farmers, who will also share potential pitfalls and helpful hints.
>Local experts will help you choose, design, and initiate the
>agritourism option that is right for your family farm.
> Conference registration is $15 per person and includes a
>continental breakfast and lunch. Pre-registration by February 25 is
>required. Contact Mrs. Carolyn Kulp at the Howard County Extension
>office at 410-313-2707 for registration materials. Please send e-mail
>requests to Caragh Fitzgerald at cf80 AT umail.umd.edu.
>
>The Maryland Cooperative Extension's programs are open to all citizens
>without regard to race, color, sex, disability, religion, age, or
>national origin.
