Vermont Golden Harvest BioFuels

Of all the plant based forms of biomass fuel, corn is nature’s natural and most efficient solar energy collector. Corn stores the sun’s energy in little golden nuggets, and when burned, it releases that heat when you need it most - at night and throughout the winter. Corn is carbon neutral and more affordable than fossil fuels (which are finite, once the supply is gone - it’s gone)!  Unlike fossil fuels, corn is also annually renewable, as it's able to be grown (replenished) every year.

Harvested and dried to 10% -12% moisture content to - insure the most optimum heat output, our corn passed through a unique series of screening processes in order to reduce the dust & chaff commonly found with other biomass fuels.  During packaging, as the kernels fall into our bags, we run a final vacuuming process to remove any remaining fine material, which is great news to anyone who is  allergic to airborne particulates.

Vermont Fences is the state's award winning quarterly magazine that's dedicated to the ever-changing production techniques and value-added products provided by many of the members of the Vermont Farm Bureau!

To quote Tim Buskey,  'When conventional dairy farming began to look tenuous, Mark and Paul Boivin of No-Mon-Ne Farm in Addison, made a plan.  Their plan would use the resource at their fingertips to grow a renewable product and provide an energy future for their area and Vermont.  With the help of the Vermont Farm Viability Enhancement Program, they developed that business plan and went on to win a grant to sustain their new business venture.'  

With over three quarters of a million alternative heating appliances already in US homes, it's obvious that concern over the recent fluctuations in oil futures has motivated a growing number to seek lower-cost alternative to fuels such as natural gas, propane, coal, and even wood.  Yet, contrary to the above mentioned fuels, only corn burns clean and efficiently, and does not release dangerous chemicals into the air. 

Heating with renewable resources, such as corn, lessens our dependence on fossil fuels & foreign oil. In fact, heating an average home with corn can save enough nonrenewable fossil fuel to operate an automobile for an entire year!
