What are some businesses that people at Dancing Rabbit could start up in order to maintain a steady income? One of the things that can be very challenging at Dancing Rabbit is the lack of available income opportunities. Folks here are always on the look-out for good business ideas to try to alleviate this situation. The main criteria that a good business at Dancing Rabbit would need to meet are:

1. Product or service that can be sold to people outside of Dancing Rabbit. (There's no shortage of work to be done within the community; the problem comes in needing to meet our US dollar expenses to the outside world.)
2. Does not require driving around all over the place. (Traveling insurance sales would not be a good business.)
3. Can be done in an ecologically friendly manner. (Umm....coal mining is right out.)
4. Would not need to be a community-wide business such as hammock production at Twin Oaks. Very few people here are interested in starting up a "Dancing Rabbit" business, but many people are interested in starting up their own small business either alone or with a few other people at DR. Ideally such a business would be easily expandable, to allow other DR residents and members to plug in quickly.

If you have ideas for a workable business that folks here could start up to keep a steady income, please send them to us (attention: March Hare editors)!
