CONSTRUCTION ON THE FARM

Carpentry
We collect the trees that fall down in the forest from wind, age, etc. and use them for construction wood, firewood, and mulch. The carpenters make furniture, cabinets, and anything else needed for the farm and hotel. We use the sawdust for compost.

Metal
We buy 100% of metal materials outside the farm, including purlins, angles, laminates, and corrugated and flat sink. We use it for steel buildings, rooftops, and anything else needed by the hotel or farm. Metal scrap is left to rust and used to filter the
biogas; the rust absorbs the acidity of the methane and cleans it before it goes into the generators to produce electricity. We sell the rest of the scrap.
