Future Expansion: Unfinished 63,600 sqft building set up with underground utilities and ducting. The facility is ready for the installation of a larger walnut huller, walnut dryer, and/or prune dipper or other field run tree crop processing equipment complete with an enclosed drive over pit. It also has a shop and an employee lounge inside.
Biomax: The facility has the ability to be 100% energy independent. There are two biomax generators that turn walnut shells into electricity. Additionally, there is a concrete pad complete with utilities to hookup an additional two biomax units. The company operating the generators shut down in 2020, but the ability to get them back up and running is very much a possibility. The heat generated from this process is ducted into the new 63,600 sqft building which would significantly reduce the cost of drying.
