In 2022, the owners sold most of their dairy cows and began letting visitors spend time brushing, petting, and even hugging specially trained Highland cows for 95 pounds per session.

German researchers have developed a method to produce carbon fiber from microalgae, offering a greener alternative to petroleum-based materials. Led by the Technical University of Munich, the GreenCarbon project uses algae that absorb CO2 and store energy-rich oils. These oils are then chemically converted into acrylonitrile, a key precursor in carbon fiber production. The resulting bio-based carbon fiber is strong enough for industrial use. In fact, Airbus has already used it to build parts for a research helicopter, which successfully completed a test flight in 2024. Scientists say this breakthrough could help reduce carbon emissions in aviation and beyond.
