Food Processing Facility Counters Rising Energy Costs with CHP Project
Fresh Venture Foods (FVF), a joint venture between Babe Farms and Gold Coast Packaging, provides processing, packing, and shipping of fresh food in Santa Maria, California. Cold storage services are provided to growers of broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, carrots, and other vegetables throughout the region.
The FVF facility is comprised of 75,000 square feet of packing, storage, and processing space, and the facility was quickly filled to capacity. Company management had a challenge to overcome — the rising energy costs related to expanding operations.
