Over the last four years Harmony Organics has reinvented the way we use energy and how it is we bring our products to market.

2009: Working on it... We've been in touch with a number of agencies about how/what we need to do to move forward.  Our land offers the ability to return to wetlands - we've been in touch with the US Fish and Wildlife Service on options to restore.  We've also been in contact with the energy agency of the USDA and their programs branch.   It should be an exciting year.  There's just so many options.

2009 DONE: 5.6AMPS.  That's what it takes to light our 120 foot x 40 foot main barn. What does this mean? Consider this: Before we installed T8 Electronic Ballasts this winter our lighting draw in that barn was 60AMPS. 54.4AMPS saved. Retired are the tar filled magnetic ballasts circa 1978. The new lighting produces more lumens in the barn than the previous system at a fraction of the impact to the environment and our wallets.  Lighting is key to poultry and we are now providing them a superior environment.

2007 DONE: Our eggs are washed onsite and as a matter of habit we kept the water boiler on night-and-day just like most people do in their homes.  We simply weren't thinking about it.  We now turn off the boiler and turn it on only a few hours before washing begins.  When it comes time to change out the boiler we'll install an on demand unit to lessen our energy needs and carbon footprint further.

2006 DONE: Our first large scale change was to redesign our feed storage.  In an effort to lower our needs for deliveries we purchased a larger capacity bin and were able to take delivery of the entire feed truck.  This not only saved on diesel use but shaved off over $3,000.00 per year in fees.
