Our Carbon Neutral Farm Journey

Beking Family Farms Logo

As farmers, we have a passion for land preservation and reducing our negative impact on the environment. We are on a journey towards a net zero carbon footprint through the adoption of new technology and natural farming practices. The following highlights the green energy initiatives that we have taken to produce a “green egg”.

Heat exchanger green egg farm

Heat Exchangers

In our barns we use heat exchangers that, during the cold winter months, blow out warm indoor air over coils that heat incoming cold air. This technology recaptures roughly 80% of the heat lost in a conventional barn so that for most of the winter our barn’s primary heat source is the birds themselves. This system also filters the dust particles for better air quality for our hens.

Solar Powered

We have installed solar panels on the roof of our barns and egg packing facility to supply most of our electrical and heating needs. With most of our farms being solar powered, we use very little grid energy and rely on the sun’s energy to collect, wash and package the eggs.
Manure Composting egg farm green

Manure Composting

Manure from the birds is always a challenge to dispose of for farms. On our farms we have installed biodigesters that compost the high nitrogen manure into a usable compost that can be put on gardens and fields. Chicken manure compost is the richest in nutrients and provides a great natural fertilizer for other farms in the region.

Growing Forward, Responsibly

We’re proud of the steps we’ve taken — and we’re just getting started. Every initiative brings us closer to a more sustainable future for our farm, our hens, and our community.
