We're excited to share this "Idea of the Week", submitted by either the MAiZE staff or one of your fellow siteowners. There never seems to be a shortage of ideas and the truth is that some of the best originate with all of you! So, if you ever have an idea you'd like us to pass along to the group, please just send it our way. Also, please remember that we'll be archiving these ideas on the siteowner web site, so that you can go back and view them whenever you like.
Turning That Ol' Dirt Hill Into Entertainment...
Below are pictures we've come across of just a few of the fun things you can do with a plain ol' dirt hill...

New MAiZE Message Forum on Facebook

Hey everyone! We've created a new "closed group" on Facebook for MAIZE siteowners only. Since so many of you are on Facebook already, we thought this may be the best option to give all of you a tool for staying connected, exchanging questions and answers, and sharing ideas.
 
To join:
1. Login to Facebook (set up an account if you don't already have one)
 
2. Go to http://www.facebook.com/groups/maizesiteowner
 
3. Click on the REQUEST TO JOIN button in the upper right corner.
 
Survey: Food on the Farm

  We'd love it if you could please take 2-3 minutes to quickly fill out a few short questions about the food offerings on your farm. Next week we'll be sharing the results with everyone, in hopes of shedding more light on current food trends within agritourism. To complete the survey, CLICK HERE.
 
Invoices by Email...
Just wanted to give all of you a quick heads up that most accounting documents (invoices, etc.) are now being sent by email. If you are having any trouble receiving this correspondance, please contact raquel@themaize.com.
