    I don’t really want to brag, I just want to share http://www.farmbrite.com with other farmers so that they can be more successful as well. We created the software to help us keep organized on our small farm and I don’t know what I’d do without it!

      Thanks, Janine! Love that you’re sharing a tool you developed for yourself.

    I have good news to share in the basket. I applied for a grant and won! The railroad and museum I work for are located in small rural towns with populations well under 1000 people. We’re located two hours from major metro areas. We won an $80,000 grant from a major corporation. The funds will help us market our nonprofit museum online. It’s been an essential boost to the museum’s marketing and will help us share our story and bring more visitors to our area. I am so happy about this help!

    Our small town grouped together through our Chamber of Commerce to host a 3-day Teacher Appreciation event this week. Such a great community builder, not to mention the economic impact. http://www.discoverhartville.com/teacherappreciation
