PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT
FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
ENERGY STAR® is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. |
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. |
Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2005 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 23 million cars — all while saving $12 billion on their utility bills. |

In times of disaster/distress, we are sometimes able to obtain funding for GRANTS to individual Farmers - through the generosity of Mr. Willie Nelson and Farm Aid.
As of April, 2010, we do not currently have any grant funds in-house, however we may be able to get special approval for an individual grant from Farm Aid. The grants are designated to help Farmer's with emergency household expenses, and are limited to a $300.00 maximum per year per family. Click here for our simple grant application form. Contact us via email or phone: 225/344-0134 for more information.
