Founded by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of offering trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to clients throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a family business, were dedicated not only to our consumers however 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 gradually purchase energy effectiveness for more than a decade– cutting yearly natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy expense savings of approximately $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse vendor OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large area with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse stays rather consistent,” said Bauman.
The greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in yearly natural gas costs compared to single-wall construction since of twin-wall innovation. Baumans received an Energy Trust of Oregon money reward of $2,400 to assist offset the added cost.
Baumans has received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We take advantage of Energy Trusts offerings every chance we get. Feel confident, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
