That’s Schrute as in Dwight Schrute, the ninja-loving paper salesman on the U.S. version of The Office. In last week’s episode, he opened his farm to visitors as a “beet-related agrotourism destination,” offering three themed rooms: America, night-time and, my favorite, irrigation. The plot thread featured Dwight’s shout out to TripAdvisor, which, in a silly and inspired publicity stunt, currently features a real page dedicated to the faux Schrute Farms. Among the reviews: A rave from Dwight’s co-workers Jim and Pam, who visited the farm for a romantic getaway.

Raves from them and other faux travelers have Schrute Farms currently ranked as the No. 1 B&B in Honesdale, Pa. Pity those travelers not in on the joke actually wanting to go for the table-making demonstrations and the “beet wine.”
