Build an on-farm restaurant. Farm-to-table dining has been making waves in big cities, with restaurants boasting the freshest produce and tastiest grass-fed meat sources from nearby farms. Having a productive farm gives you a distinct advantage to capitalize on this trend because proponents of farm-to-table cuisine would put a price on food that comes straight from the source. Serve up the freshest, seasonal ingredients and give your patrons an immersive experience of your farm and [you will] be the talk of the town in no time. Whether [it is] a casual cafe or elegant setup with a tasting menu, an on-farm restaurant is a great investment that will easily turn your farm into a popular tourist(and local) attraction.

Where the Spirit Lives(1989) is a drama film about Aboriginal children getting taken from their tribes to attend residential schools. The setting is in Canada. Ashto-omi is a young Aboriginal girl taken by an Indian Agent, Taggert. Her younger brother Pita and other children are also lured into the airplane using candy canes. The two newcomers are forcefully renamed with names associated with Christianity. Ashto-Komi's name is changed to Amelia(no. 61) while Pita's is changed to Abraham(no. 67). Kathleen Gwillemberry is a new teacher to the school. Ashto-Komi gets stripped and scrubbed. Her hair is cut and scrubbed. Her hair is cut short. The old native style clothing is gone and gets replaced with uniforms. The children get a small amount of food to eat and are forced to do prayers every morning to become Christians. Ashto-Komi talks her language and gets beaten by the teacher. She did not know they were forbidden to talk their native language. Gwillemberry says they are poor children that don’t know any English after teaching her new class. Reverend Buckely replies and says "The children are like a garden, in order to maintain the beautiful flowers you need to pull all the weeds out and cut them back. "
