=All Visitors are Welcome at Factor e Farm=
To further public education, participation, hands on experience and still achieve our facility goals, we need to make all visitors' time productive. Facility tours are $50 for the first visit. Other visitors must pick a volunteer project from below that they will work on when they visit Factor e Farm.


People who have helped us before and are welcome without the above facility tour fee. However, we still request that all visitors cover the cost of their stay, as noted in the next section.

Our time is very valuable. As we are currently getting large numbers of real and virtual visits, we need to stay on track of our work. While we would like to engage in longer discussions on all of our work, the actual ''building'' of the world's first, replicable, open source global village comes first. Because of the increasing volume of visitors, we simply need to make sure that we are compensated for time spent away from real development work along our core mission. Here is our fee schedule, and special cases are considered on a case-by-case basis, as we go through reorganization of our organization.
Or, the Practical Post Scarcity concepts. This is a video by [[Ian Midgley]], who is working on a documentary on OSE. .


*First-time visitors - everyone who comes to our facility for the first time pays a $50 per person tour fee. This applies to prospective Factor e Farm team members as well. The reason is that we have a low acceptance rate - primarily because our place is different than most people expect - so this compensates us both for our time and ensures greater commitment on the part of the visitor.
<html>
*Day volunteer visits - volunteers coming for unscheduled work days pay $20 per person for the first day.

*Organic volunteers - we provide housing for organic agriculture volunteers, but any extra food not provided by the farm must be covered by the volunteer.

The above does not apply to dedicated project visits. These visits are carried out under an explicit agreement, with a mutually agreed-upon proposal for a clear deliverable.
