- Diversity: the key to an agritourism enterprise -- we're looking for a few agritourism sites that do more than "just a corn maze," they have multiple things that people can do to make the farm an all-day "experience."
- Cut Flower Production and Marketing -- we have lots of folks interested, but they have no clue as to what to grow, how to pack it, and who to sell it to!
- Fiber production and marketing -- same story as the cut flowers.
- herbs, homeopathic medicine, etc. -- had a request for this one last year, I assume we need to learn about growing/marketing herbs as well as what ones are used generally for medicinal purposes.
- Closing the urban/rural divide, tapping into ethnic markets in the D.C./Metro area -- hoping to figure out what ethnic markets need, and how to get the products to them!
- Shared Use Community Kitchens, success stories -- hoping to someday have a community kitchen, trying to figure out how to run it, where to get the money to fund it, how it can be sustainable, and how to incorporate tourism into the mix.
