As a living classroom where cutting-edge agricultural techniques are demonstrated and tested, the DRT Environment holds many key tools for regional growth. The facility includes:

• High Tunnels, Greenhouse and Nursery: Extending the growing season and providing protected environments for a variety of crops, these structures are essential for year-round production. The greenhouse and nursery will allow food-bearing plants and forest medicinal plants to be started and sold, including fruit tree stock, berries and vegetable plants.
• Fruit Orchards: A diverse range of fruit trees offers hands-on learning in orchard management and fruit production, creating producers and contributing to local and regional food systems.
• Poultry and Goat Production: Demonstrations in livestock management provide training in raising poultry and goats, both of which offer significant opportunities for local farmers.
• Apiary and Honey Production: Beekeeping demonstrations highlight the importance of pollinators in agriculture, while also offering valuable lessons in honey production and small-scale agribusiness.
• SOURCE Hydropanel Project: Sixty hydro panels produce water using sunlight and compressed air, creating a social enterprise for clean water sales and/or donation for surrounding communities.
