When I started my last business attempt (didn't build enough business in one year to warrant keeping the doors open), I became a Notary Public. This has been very useful as we are 30 miles away from banks and law offices. This morning I got a call from the store - a farmer nearby needed something notarized today. They were on the way to my coffee place so I got my seal and logbook and stopped by their place.
In return, I got 8oz of yummy honey, a bar of soap and a nice bunch of chamomile tea. All of these will be put to good use here. I love the barter economy and the people who settle in out here are just wonderful.
