A major area to be used to promote the over all businesses will be the use and display of various alternative energy systems used by & at the business. With the installation of Solar powered electric as well as preheating water used in the showers, Wind powered generators, and possibly "Bio Diesel" fuel for the canoe rentals vehicles, & tractors of the hayrides. Each system will have a central read out to show it's productivity, benefit, and costs, ideally with a count down to pay off of the system beside a normal cost out the door forever.
Working with local schools and teachers develop a set of curriculums for all grade levels, 2 through 12, and invite schools from all directions out for an educational field trip to the property to learn about alternative energy and it's uses, along with a short hayride around some of the property back to a picnic shelter. Each of these kids will remember the many things they have discovered to do at the business and drag their families, and other groups they are or will be a part of for many years to come. This will also make an excellent press release to generate stories in all area news papers and television stations in each of the three major markets.
By working with area colleges, universities, and vocational schools it should be possible to develop a working alternative energy laboratory at the business, ideally placing even full size wind power generators on the property in association with the local utility to study results and benefits of various systems. The regular energy systems will also be available for sale to our customers for home and business use, working with a select electric or heating and air contractor to do all installation, having them do our own systems from the start as a trade off.
