Agritourism Farm Experience model starts highly capital-intensive, leading to an initial EBITDA loss of $56,000 in 2026 However, strong revenue growth (from $481,000 in 2026 to $701,000 in 2027) drives rapid improvement, achieving breakeven by February 2027 (14 months) Most operators can raise their operating margin by 5-8 percentage points by focusing on pricing specialized offerings and
