Abstract:
The agricultural business is not as profitable as it once was; therefore, farmers are seeking other income sources in order to survive. One new source of income is agritourism. Farmers show off their farms and sell their crops, crafts, and goods while educating and entertaining an interested and curious public. Hensley describes several agritourism farms, including Darnell Farms (Bryson City); Mike's Farm (Beulaville); and Goat Lady Dairy (Siler City).

Abstract:
Hensley traces important milestones in golf's rise to popularity in North Carolina. The state's first golf course was the Linville Golf Club, which was built in the mountain village in 1895. The following year Wilmington's Cape Fear Country Club was built. Both courses were founded by Hugh McRae. From those beginnings, golf courses in the state have grown to 565, including 384 that are open to the public. According to the National Golf Foundation, North Carolina ranks tenth nationally in the number of courses.

Abstract:
Recent renovations of the Grove Park Inn in Asheville have once again made it one of the grandest resorts in America. The original structure, built in 1913, became a major retreat for America's elite. A two-million-dollar renovation and a twenty-million-dollar addition of 202 rooms have been completed. While Thomas Wolfe may no longer stroll through its grand hallways, the Grove Park Inn is once again a place of distinction for North Carolina, capturing the charm of the Appalachian area.

Abstract:
In the hierarchy of the state's top ten golf courses, positions are slow to change. In 2000, Pinehurst No. 2 and the Old North State Club continue their first and second place rankings. However, in the next eight positions, courses change rankings or drop off the list, while new courses make an appearance. Rankings were determined by balloting by the NORTH CAROLINA magazine Golf Panel.
