HARNESSING WASTE ENERGY
Longvine’s Utah facility is located adjacent to a natural gas power plant on the national energy grid. In partnership with Rocky Mountain Power, Longvine captures the waste heat and CO2 from the exhaust stacks and uses it for growing year-round; transforming waste into food.




WATER CONSERVATION
We do all we can to use water in the most efficient way possible. In the greenhouse this means using computer-monitored drip irrigation conserves that can tell us how much water and fertilizer the plant is taking up. Any water or fertilizer not used by the plant is recycled and filtered back through the system to feed the plants once again.

Longvine utilizes an integrated pest management program. We catch problem spots early with scouts and simple solutions like yellow sticky tape. Using a number of methods to treat problems including natural alternatives to pesticides like cinnamon and peppermint oils and bringing good bios (parasitic wasps) into the greenhouse to fight off bad bugs.
REDUCED USE OF FOSSIL FUELS
In effort to reduce our energy foot-print, we seek out any opportunity to maximize our efficiency. As an example, we collect heat from refrigeration equipment, and recirculated irrigation water, storing it for use in large tanks, so we can heat the greenhouse, displacing the need to burn natural gas for heat.

Land use
Land Use
Greenhouse growing is a significant improvement to field growing, as it allows us to grow around 24X the amount of product of the same plot of land. Or we can grow the equal amount with 1 acre of greenhouse growing as a field can with 24 acres. Besides giving the plants the optimum climate for quality, our plants can also grow up to 60ft tall, which allows it to produce much longer than a field plant would.
Reduced fossil fuels
Reduced fossil fuels
There are several ways we have been able to cut down on fossil fuel usage. By capturing excess irrigation water, which contains fertilizer not taken up by the plants, we can recirculate and ultimately use less. This allows us to truck in fertilizer less often, cutting gas and diesel greenhouse gas emissions down.
We also continue to seek out and test new packaging materials. These efforts have significantly cut our annual plastic usage over the past 5 years, as we move to more recyclable materials with higher amounts of recycled content.

Longvine has made a commitment to using 25% recycled materials on all plastic packaging as well as exploring all the alternative options to plastic, with paperboard and bulk options available.
