Agritourism farm a resource for other operations

Like any farm that opens itself to visitors, Mariah and Greg Anderson are always adding new things to keep people coming back.

The latest additions at Triple M Farm: Mariah’s Mums & More, more activities for kids and more snacks.

“We listen to what people tell us,” Mariah says.

As many as 5,000 people pour onto the Clinton County, Illinois, farm for Mum Fest in September, which also includes 75 vendors. The event is clearly a star attraction on their farm. The website is already counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to the annual event.

Other special events draw people, including National Ice Cream Sundae Day, Jeep Day, butterfly releases, a back-to-school bash, and the Watermelon Crawl.

Video: Running a Farm Store + Starting No-Till Gardens w/Blue Goose Farm

We cover: today we are chatting with Keenan McVey of Blue Goose Farm in Ontario Canada. Keenan, along with his wife Ashley, run this small farm and along with it a really interesting, in-town Farm Store that is a little different from what you might think of as a farm store and has proved to be an invaluable marketing option for them. Keenan’s roots are in the culinary world, and the farm was also started with another chef from the area some of you may know, named Matty Matheson (of the excellent show The Bear). Keenan tells us that story as well as helps detail the technical stuff about how the gardens were created and how they are maintained.
