Sharing a snippet of my other life! You know.... the one that actually pays the bills!!
Art that takes hours to make, but is destroyed in seconds.

It beginning to look like you need some ideas ....
Crab apple jelly made with Skye apples and our famous (okay, very super popular) chocolate spread made with a generous dram of single malt.
We have a grand collection of vintage serve ware too. Dm to enquire.
Many do not realize that there are many viable businesses in rural America owned by an aging man who has no obvious successor.
The guy probably wants to retire, the locals need the service he provides, but the business would be hard to sell because it is not managed according to "conventional" principles, doesn't generate UMC-level income, and is in a place most people don't want to live.
One day, the guy just dies, and suddenly locals have to drive 60+ minutes to Lowe's to get a new wrench instead of 10 minutes. Or their favorite old bar closes and they start drinking in Tim's garage instead, wishing the old bar would open again. They're bummed, and a viable business is lost.
Young guys who show any serious interest and commitment to the town could, with a little charisma and elbow grease, get some really sweetheart deals on takeovers, buy-outs, etc. when the big chief wants to finally retire.
Often, just showing up and saying "I love this town and I'd like to work here just to learn how the business is run" is enough to put a twinkle in the old owner's eye. The second step is actually following through and staying; once you prove you're in for the long haul, things can move quickly.
This might be the most straightforward path to gaining a lot of influence in a rural town quickly, as those running these businesses tend to know everyone. As long as the new guy changes nothing, he'll be respected and be on the fast-track to building a lasting local legacy.
