Our system of heating our greenhouses with clean, green, renewable triglyceride burner fuel (TBF), which is used animal fat and vegetable oil collected from local restaurants, continues to be a resounding success.  This past heating season we operated our Clean Burn boiler for over 2,000 hours, our two Clean Burn furnaces for over 1,000 hours each, and burned over 10,000 gallons of TBF successfully.  With heating oil prices skyrocketing to over $4.00 per gallon and diving to $2.00 per gallon, this system provides us with a cost stable, cost effective, and environmentally friendly fuel that is crucial to our economic success.  We now have 5, 25 foot by 96 foot greenhouses in full production year round!  Please follow the Energy Project link at the left to take a Tour of our TBF heating system and download our Final Report to the Maine Department of Agriculture.

Because of the success if the heating system, we are now able to offer a Winter CSA share!  Follow the link that the left to our CSA pages for more information.
