The first HE system runs year round at 46 KW Kilowatt hours.  The second plant runs during the 6 month winter cycle at 150 KW (kilowatt hours).  This second plant also regulates and controls the ponds that are used during the summer months for drip irigation for the crops.         2.  GREEN RANCH          Bison Ranch, Wyoming        Patterson Ranch, Three Sisters, OR               Lazy K Ranch, Reno NV     Hedgeville Organic Cattle Ranch, Canada     Deer Mountain Center will begin its Green Ranch operations as soon as the Hydro Plant systems are in place.   The Hydro-Electric plant will regulate and create an overflow system where several large ponds will be created for drip irrigation systems to water the crops, grains and different grasses to feed the ranch animals.     Buffalo, Cattle, Horses, Lamas and additonal animals will be brought to Deer Mountain Center.   The Lamas will provide the wool for making specialized Lama wool blankets.  The organic feed cattle will create a market for selling the organic meat to local markets and regional meat distributors.   The Green Ranch will also have specialized barns will be built with apartmernts on the top floor for ranch hands/personel.  Solar panels and micro-film technologies will be used that are interfaced into the renewable Hydro-electric plants for selling renewable energy to PPL and having green energy power for Deer Montain's energy needs....   The Green Ranch follows the same standards as the organic farm in the methods to cultivate chemical-free produce and livestock, which is complemented with the highest standards of animal care and in accordance as certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). Organic farming and organic ranching is highly principled, and is quickly gaining popularity because of the dangers inherent in current agri-chemical practices.     All the ranch operations strive to preserve the plants, animals, and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.    The Green Ranch operates using holistic, sustainable methods of raising crops and livestock that are central to the organic philosophy.   It is a return to the standards that our ancestors were familiar with and an area of importance for ecological and geological balance for all wildlife, flora, fauna.  All the land is reserved and managed for conservation and to provide special opportunities for study and maintaining of reserved areas for biota including fish, waterfowl and other animals.   3.  ORGANIC FARM         Hale Akua Organic Farm, Maui Hawaii     Paradise Organic Farms, Homestead, FL         The Stanford Inn Organic Farm                    Mendicno, CA     Deer Mountain is in develpment to create an innovative organic agriculture system that combines traditional and indigenous knowledge with innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote healthy nature relationships for a good quality of life for all involved.   Deer Mountain supports the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements where an agricultural production system sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people.  Using applied sciences and indigenous knowledge in crop rotation, compost, biological pest control, and mechanical cultivation and green manure to maintain soil productivity and control pests, excluding or strictly limiting the use of synthetic fertilizers and synthetic pesticides, plant growth regulators, livestock feed additives, and genetically modified organisms using ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to natural conditions.   Deer Mountain is creating a new organic farming business model that merges a synthesis of knowledge and wisdom of indigenous elders in organic farming and integrating this with frontier sciences in horticulture, permaculture, botany and alternative green energy power systems.   Deer Mountain is forming strategic partnerships for the research and development of state of the art technologies in renewable and sustainable energies generated from natural resource such as solar power, solar hot water/heating wind power, rain, hydroelectricity, geothermal, and biomass energy which are re- newable. 4.  GREENHOUSE FARM         Royal Greenhouse, Laeken, Belgium      Kew Greenhouse, London England     Deer Mountain is developing a greenhouse farm program where geodesic garden domes are solar powered glass greenhouses with computer controlled equipment for screening installations, heating, and lighting outfitted with integrated irrigation systems.  Renewable energy is an important option for Deer Mountain such as hydro, solar, wind, and biomass are all viable choices.   The glass used will work as a selective transmission medium for different spectral frequencies and will increase the solar electro- magnetic radiation energy which heats both the plants and the ground inside it.  The major benefit of constructing greenhouses in Deer Mountain is to be able to grow food year round without any hinderances from winter or harsh climate.  The Solar Green- houses can be outfitted with integrated irrigation systems, and/or heat sink-systems which can respectively irrigate the plants or help to store energy from the sun and redistribute it at night (when the greenhouses starts to cool down).  5.  ORGANIC SEED BANK        Genetic Resource Center Seed Bank                    Manila, Philippines       Collecting Seeds on the Banks Of The                       Murrumbidgee     An organic seed bank program will also be developed in conjunction with the green house farming.  A seedbank is a type of gene bank for storing seeds as a source for planting food crops, or those of rare species to protect biodiversity and preserving rare or extinct plants used in traditional and indigenous medicine.      The seeds stored may be food crops, or those of rare species to protect biodiversity. The reasons for storing seeds may be varied.  A seedbank stores seeds as a source for planting in case seed reserves elsewhere are destroyed.  In the case of food crops, many useful plants that were developed over centuries are now no longer used for commercial agricultural production and are becoming rare. Storing seeds also guards against catastrophic events like natural disasters, outbreaks of disease, or war.  Seeds are dried to a moisture content of less than 6% and then stored in freezers at -18°C or below with little damage to their DNA and they remain viable and are easily stored in seedbanks.  6.  CONFERENCE CENTER           Circle Of Life Thunderbird Center                   Manitoba, Canada                 The Christine Center, Willard WI   Eastlake Garden Center, Willoughby, OH     Deer Mountain’s Conference Center will be located in the 8 Dome Center and is being developed as an ideal location for gathering and training, teachings and professional team building with conferences, seminars, retreats, symposiums, workshops, youth camps, corporate team building and more.  It is designed to rejuvenate the spirit, stimulate the mind and enhance the body.   All indigenous cultures, belief systems are welcome including the traditional and frontier sciences that are bridging science and consciousness.   Deer Mountain serves to connect people to the natural and spiritual world, and to bridge the wisdom of the indigenous elders with frontier sciences so that the diversity of life can flourish for future generations.      Deer Mountain’s Conference Center will enable a diverse range of programs from event producers, corporate clients, sponsors, strategic partners and affiliates to provide retreat, educational and spiritual programs. The Conference Center serves a diverse range of needs, outlets, networking, educational, healing, indigenous teaching and science integration.  Various types of events can include a diverse range of day, weekend and week-long spiritual events, retreats, workshops, conferences with a wide range of amenities included from food, lodging, Deer Mountain depart- mental programs, healing and sanctuary retreat resources and more.   The Conference Center operates as sustained-living model to a wide consortium of sponsors, strategic partners, affilates, organizations and other like-minded who are interested to share community programs and abundance in sustained living.    Deer Mountain’s 1700 acres are perfectly suited to connect to nature, spirit and human development where group reflection, creative thinking and corporate teambuilding can be integrated into any type of conference event.  From green energy eco-systems and sustained living, renewable technologies to developing leadership programs in youth camps, any type of conference and retreat program can be held at Deer Mountain.  7.  HEALING CENTER    NM Healing Center, Chartes Labyrinth   Hanaq-Pacha Spirit Retreat, Cusco Peru     Christine Spiritual Center, Willard WI   .
