Zusammenfassung:The plant produces about 39 million pounds of cultured product annually, and there is room to grow, Townley said. Because the plant makes reduced-fat cheeses, it has excess cream. Real Farm Power addresses food waste, nutrient management, resource recovery, renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions, customer collaboration and consumer education. The state of Vermont allows the plant in Cabot to draw 110,000 gallons of water a day, and it used to draw 90,000 gallons. Because of the measures mentioned above, the plant draws just 30,000 gallons. Plant managers have replaced motors with high-efficiency models, installed roof-top solar panels that run the dumpsters and converted oil boilers to burn compressed natural gas.
