20% OffFounded by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of providing trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to customers throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a family business, were committed not just to our clients but to being excellent stewards of the Earth and community,” said Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths terrific, fantastic grand son. That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to gradually buy energy performance for more than a years– cutting yearly gas use by an approximated 55,000 therms and providing yearly energy cost savings of roughly $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 design made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with two bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature in the greenhouse remains rather continuous,” said Bauman.
Because of twin-wall innovation, the greenhouse is anticipated to save an estimated $10,700 in annual gas costs compared to single-wall building and construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon money incentive of $2,400 to assist offset the added expense.
Baumans has gotten more than $80,000 in Energy Trust incentives. “We make the most of Energy Trusts offerings every opportunity we get. Rest guaranteed, well be doing more projects in the future,” said Bauman.
