Small, locally-owned businesses are an integral part of the Iowa economy. Bed and breakfast (B&Bs) operations are excellent examples of hospitality businesses that provide unique experiences while supporting the local economy. HRIM Extension is proud to help support bed and breakfast operations and other small and medium hospitality enterprises.
