Established by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of supplying trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to consumers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a household organization, were dedicated not only to our consumers but to being excellent stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” said Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths great, excellent grandson. That dedication to sustainability has triggered Baumans to progressively purchase energy effectiveness for more than a years– cutting yearly gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy cost savings of roughly $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse vendor 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 consistent,” said Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to conserve an estimated $10,700 in yearly natural gas expenses compared to single-wall building since of twin-wall technology. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to help offset the added cost.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Feel confident, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
