Baked bread, handmade tableware, handwoven fabrics =3D a warm and
fuzzy, inviting, home and hearth image comes to mind.
I don't know if that's the angle you want to chase, but that's the
first picture I get.
Another: Selling the bread and the pottery it was baked in. Maybe
include the recipe too?? Let's face it--the first people who are
going to turn into your place are women.
You'll get men if you promise free hot rolls or something. Pitch
sales for me that include buying something for their women.
How far are you from the nearest towns? You'll have to promote events
to pull people from there.
