Our Wind Turbine

We use a wind turbine, which was installed in 2003, that has a capacity of 10 kilowatts, to also generate renewable energy that we use here at Maple Hill Farm.

We hope to generate the equivalent of about half our power from renewable resources!!

Other "Green" Features at the Inn Include:

• Maple Hill Farm is a participant in the Governor’s Carbon Challenge and has set a voluntary goal of reducing carbon emissions by 30% by 2010.

• Bulk dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in guest bathrooms avoid the solid waste of multiple individual bottles, while allowing guests to easily use just the right amount they need.

• Electric hand dryers in the conference restrooms to cut down on paper waste.

• Our many skylights often eliminate the need to have artificial lights on in some work areas and common hallways.

• High-efficiency lighting including LEDs, CFLs and low-voltage halogens is used when possible.

• We use only cloth napkins, tablecloths, real dishes and silverware. No paper or plastic waste is generated from our food service.

• All food waste is fed to the farm animals so none of it enters the waste stream.

• Our laundry is processed on-site using high-efficiency equipment avoiding the need to truck linens to and from our facility.

• Temperatures are moderated in empty rooms to save energy. Each room has individual climate controls (both heat and air conditioning).

• We manage 130 acres of open space with trails for viewing wildlife and a wide variety of native trees and plants, adjacent to 800+ acres of public wildlife area.

• We use email for confirmations, proposals, invoicing and in general correspondence instead of post mail to cut down on paper usage and waste.

• We offer Maine-grown organic herbal teas and Maine-roasted organic Fair Trade shade-grown coffee.
