Homestead Festival June 2023
Picture this, you’ve been tirelessly working day and night for a whole month straight; working, researching and testing to make sure your future product is working absolutely perfect. All of your hard work and dedication coming to fruition at a premiere event properly called the Homestead Festival in Columbia, Tennessee.
That’s my husband, who hasn’t slept in nearly a week between the welding, the fitting, the testing, the researching, now driving a 32 foot RV with the whole family inside, to present our product and our goal for what we hope is the future of our business.
Our goal you ask? it’s really a simple goal: Help everyone achieve their off grid dreams and lower their reliance on things that, at any moment could be taken away by people with more power than us.
But that’s not quite true, we have more power than they do. We have the power to free ourselves from the politics, the media, the grid, the rising price of oil by simply taking our future into our own hands but I digress.
That was our message at the Homestead Festival in Columbia, to help people achieve their off grid dreams. And we had so many people eager to receive our message, even Joel Salatin, the famous Lunatic Farmer, came by to hang out with us and learn about our products for a while.
On display at the festival was the Mega G gasifier, our one of a kind cooling system and filter and our biochar kiln. With demonstrations every three hours, we had a crowd gathered around every time we lit the gasifier to show everyone what it could do.
And to see their faces! To see the shock and the disbelief and the curiosity on their faces when they saw a generator running and powering tools with absolutely no gasoline in the tank, it was remarkable and a very proud moment for everyone at Clinch Energy.
Not only did we power up the generator for everyone to see, we also had our trusty Dodge 1500 hooked up to the gasifier to perform for the audience. To see a truck running on a gasifier only, while the fuel pump relay was laying to the side, people were shook to say the least.
Overall, the festival turned out to be an amazing experience, with us meeting so many like-minded people and being able to share our product with people who want to be off the grid as much as we do. We might not have sold out of our inventory that weekend but there was an air of satisfaction and pride on the way home that Sunday, for everyone in the RV; because what we are doing is good and to be able to reach and inform so many people about the different possibilities of having a gasifier and the freedom it provides, it was truly awesome.
Until next time Columbia, Tennessee, we hope to see you again next year!
