AGRITOURISM MENTOR PROGRAM
Building a competitive and vibrant agritourism business means learning
a lot of new skills. While that might be easy in a city, it's real a challenge
for farmers living in rural British Columbia, hundreds of kilometers from
learning centres. So BCATA has developed an on-line opportunity for you
to learn about ways to build your business from the most experienceed
folks in the business - other agritourism operators. Got an
idea you're willing to share? We'd like to hear
about what you do that works for you and could help other farmers.

Zucchini Races |
Want to add zome zip to your market?
Zucchini races are great fun for kids of all ages! Contact me and I'll
send you suggestions on how to build a zucchini track,
how to build zucchini racers and how to organize a fun event at your
market . All this from last year's grand champion at the Luxton Station

Cow Pat Bingo (DUNGO!) |
Looking to attract media attention
for your market? There's nothing like DUNGO! to pull
out the cameras! If you have a cow and fencing for setting up at a market
(on grass), I have instructions for an easy-to-manage cow pat bingo!
No need to draw a grid - I have a nifty method that'll save you time
and create the potential for a great fund-raiser! Email me at info@ramblingfeats.ca or
telephone 250.544-4847. |

Vegetable Orchestra |
I admit I've never done this myself
but it sure looks like a lot of fun - assemble an orchestra to perform
at your farm festival or set up a table for folks to make their own
instruments, like the carrot recorder at left. To learn all about this
vegetarian sport, visit the website of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra
at www.gemueseorchester.org and/or search UTube
for more fascinating adventures in vegetable music. Submitted by Robert
Thompson, Rambling Feats Communications. |
