PRINCESS ANNE — A small farm bus tour offers a variety of educational stops over a two-day period late August/early September. Back by popular demand, the tour will allow participants to “Explore New Farm Income Opportunities,” on Monday, Aug. 31, and Tues., Sept. 1.

Tour participants will meet in the Cambridge Walmart Supercenter parking lot and depart for the tour at 8 a.m. sharp on Aug. 31. The two day tour will provide participants with many opportunities to experience successful and innovative farming ventures in Maryland and Pennsylvania and to explore alternatives and possibilities that will help the average farmer increase his or her bottom line and implement sustainable practices.

Major topics of discussion will be centered on direct marketing, value-added products, agri-tourism, sustainable farming practices, alternative “niche” crops, forestry, natural resource conservation and more. The tour will end as the bus returns to the Cambridge Walmart Supercenter parking lot around 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 1.
