>Maryland some farmers are looking toward entertainment to help keep
>their families profitable.  Agritourism can be an option to help farm

>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.
