For a perfect stay among untouched nature, yet very strategic to visit Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio, with breathtaking views next to Orvieto, one hour from Rome, stay at Farmholiday Conte Pompeo (www.contepompeo.it)

Today in the New York Times there's an interesting piece called "Small U.S. Farms Find Profit in Tourism," about how important agritourism is becoming in many rural areas of the United States (but that's something all of you in this group already knew!).  An excerpt:

 

..."The United States Department of Agriculture predicts that this year the average farm household will get only about 13 percent of its income from farm sources. Agritourism is appealing because it increases the family’s income from the farm, potentially reducing the need for off-farm jobs.

The U.S.D.A.’s census of agriculture, which is conducted every five years, estimated that 23,000 farms offered agritourism activities in 2007, bringing in an average of $24,300 each in additional income. The number of farms taking part fell from the previous census, in 2002, but at that time the average agritourism income per farm was just $7,200.

California, the nation’s largest farm state, was among the leaders in agritourism, according to the census, with nearly 700 farms averaging more than $50,000 in agritourism income.

The agritourism movement is fueled by city dwellers who want to understand where their food comes from or who feel an urge to embrace the country life..."
