<p class="MsoNormal">I am wondering what experience or knowledge you might share regarding farms that are looking to supplement or sustain their businesses by events such as “farm to table dinners, weddings, receptions, etc”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you know of any resources or zoning models that might be useful.<o:p></o:p></p>
