This state-wide program is designed to assist conservation-minded Bed & Breakfast proprietors whose accommodations are situated on large parcels of scenic or agricultural land (20 acres and up) and who are concerned about the future of these undeveloped holdings. These rural based businesses are good for the economy and help preserve countryside in its original state. Your patronage of these businesses is one tangible way that you can help encourage others to follow their lead. Another way is to support the efforts of the Land Trust of Virginia. Ultimately, a long-term goal of this program is to provide assistance for people interested in opening a rural Bed & Breakfast.
