Equipment cleaning is part of yogurt making, which unavoidably generates wastewater. We treat our wastewater in an anaerobic digester that simultaneously cleans the water and converts waste yogurt into energy.

The motivations to use less energy and renewable sources of energy are many. Climate change, cost, national security, operational efficiency … and the list goes on. We’ve been working on ways to reduce our energy since we were on the farm!

Zero waste

Our people
We think it’s critical for our employees to develop environmental awareness and skills to apply both at work and home. Through education, training, and incentive programs, we encourage our employees to make a difference.
