Entrepreneurial initiatives abound in the region. Because many area
residents own small acreages, they derive auxiliary income through the
growing of market produce, fruits, and perhaps some poultry or sheep and
goats. Many do more than one of these. Some also produce craft items or
value added food products. Some sell firewood from their land. Often these
ventures are in addition to full time professions, technical trades, or any of
a number of employment possibilities, and are a great way to involve the
whole family in fun and profitable enterprises.
For those who want to make an agricultural related enterprise a larger or
even a full time source of income, there are opportunities in the rapidly
expanding natural and organic foods sector of the economy. Many
producers direct market their products to family, friends, and subscribers.
Some do mail order operations or market their products or services through
the Internet. Organic Valley Family of Farms, the nation’s largest organic
cooperative is located in West Central Wisconsin and has hundreds of local
producers who market their products through them. There are also those
who have found a niche in things such as fish farming, or raising deer,
bison, elk, alpaca, and llamas. There are also numerous horse farms and
equestrian training facilities throughout the region. And there are many
other venues, cooperatives and businesses that provide a market for farm
produced products.
There are also popular "agri-tourism" ventures that involve selling farm
production directly to tourists and passers-by. Sometimes it is a simple
"pick-your-own" operation for fruits and/or berries, or it may consist of
offering farm grown vegetables for sale at a roadside stand. Then there are
operations that feature a friendly, family oriented theme designed to give
customers an educational and fun on-farm experience. Some farms have a
small retail outlet featuring value added food items and crafts for folks to
stop in and peruse and maybe even get a free sample. Sometimes these
operations become popular destination points that people will drive quite a
distance to because of the quality of the product and experience. Another
increasingly popular farm tourism offering are on farm get-away weekends
for city dwellers. These usually consist of a private cabin or even a
converted barn on the property where guests are invited to spend a quiet
weekend away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Of course, there are many opportunities other than agricultural in the area.
Municipalities offer some professional and technical opportunities and
various related employment possibilities, as well as school districts and
health care providers. And of course there are manufacturers, retail stores,
specialty shops, food service, recreational and fitness facilities and small
businesses of all types.
