The original concept of Monitor Farms is that they are farmer-led initiatives to improve the performance and profitability of a farm, typical of the local area, over three year period. To date the model has been used at over 40 Monitor Farms across Scotland. The agritourism Monitor Farms are run on the same principals but are running over a shorter time span of 18 months, due to the funding cycle of the 2007-2013 RDP.  In this project, two Monitor Farms were supported by a facilitator and Management Group. Activities carried out included the delivery of 18 meetings, the creation and facilitation of a Management Group for each farm and business development and facilitation to the wider monitor farm community groups.
