EDUCATING AND ENTERTAINING
The Pizza Farm is the ideal business opportunity for farmers, ranchers or entrepreneurs who want to join the fast-growing, highly profitable agri-tourism industry. We provide a turn-key business that offers all the security and experienced support of a well established franchise, with excellent marketing pieces and training materials. The Pizza Farm can be a stand-alone venture or a complement to an existing farm operation, and will make more money for your family or business year after year.The Pizza Farm is a one-half acre interactive demonstration garden that connects kids and "city folks" with the origin of their favorite food - PIZZA!
The Pizza Farm can be built in a week or a month, depending on available labor. Once the simple construction is finished, it's time to set the stage for attracting school field trips, which are your primary customers. The Pizza Farm generates income in several ways:
- Schools bring classes of children for field trips to your facility at a per-child charge.
- Birthday parties can be held on the premise with activities for all guests.
- Sponsorships from local businesses can lessen or erase your operating costs, and help with advertising expenses.
- Your "sales opportunities" expand from harvest time only to the entire growing season.
- Thousands of dollars worth of positive PR is generated for your farm within your community.
- Opportunities for "added value" products are introduced into your existing operation.
- A "one-of-a-kind" distinction will separate you from competing attractions in your area.
- Your customer base just keeps on growing, grade school class after grade school class.
- You, as a farmer, become a community hero for your efforts to support education and agriculture.
The Pizza Farm will achieve its educational mission anywhere it is replicated, however the old real estate cliche "location, location, location" is the first key to financial success. A population base of 250,000 or more within a one hour radius of your farm is suggested for economic viability. However, a farm located along a well-traveled tourist route can supplement a smaller population base. "City folk" want to visit the countryside, but they want the farm to be nearby and easy to find. The Pizza Farm allows you to capitalize on urban sprawl instead of succumbing to it!
