Profit Opportunities:
There are a number of potentially profitable enterprises (holons) that could be developed here. We do not have the time to take advantage of all of them, but are willing to split the profits generously (50/50+) with anyone who cares to take on a project using our untapped resources. Some examples include:
1. Ecotourism: Charge fees for hikes, walks, or rides through the gallery forest on the river. One of North America's most biologically diverse places.
2. Offal: We currently compost between 2000-3000 pounds a month of beef offal. It's a rich, organic fertilizer that we apply to our pastures and could be sold. Other potential products might be blood/bone meal, hide tanning, beef heads (cabeza) or sun-bleached skulls.
3. Wood: We have acres and acres of downed, cured woods ranging from cottonwood to mesquite. It could be a furniture-makers paradise!
4. Lamb or Pigs: We haven't had the time to properly devote to more species, but the potential is huge.
