[QUOTE="No Rest Farm, post: 1398269, member: 26716"] All very good points Farmer Jan. I think you may be right about going ahead and getting what I can in my name. I already own the home on the farm and a few acres that went with it. We will be moving into it this spring. One of my roles in local government here is to work with our tourism authority. One of the things they preach is selling experiences as much as products. Evidently some suburban folks enjoy getting out and feeling like they know where their food comes from. The key is to give them the experience they expect which could be different than actual farm life. I've got a second cousin that's doing this. He gave up running a dairy to start growing vegetables and doing all sorts of events. He offered to give me a full tour and help me with ideas. He lives about 2 hours away and we wouldn't be competing for the same customers. All things to think about if you want to make a farm pay for itself. [/QUOTE]
