$159.99 (as of 22:26 GMT +00:00 - More info)Established by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of providing trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to consumers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a household company, were devoted not only to our consumers but to being excellent stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” stated Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths great, fantastic grand son. That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to steadily purchase energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to install a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather continuous,” stated Bauman.
Since of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to help balance out the added expense.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Feel confident, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
