Lowey's Produce Honoured

An area greenhouse has been honoured by the province.

Lowey's Produce was one of five regional winners of the Premier's Agri-Food Innovation Excellence Awards.

Owner Blair Lowey says they were recognized for their efforts to become more energy efficient which included the installation of a biomass boiler.

"Putting in a biomass boiler helps because we don't use natural gas," says Lowey. "Our electrical energy consumption has been substantially reduced so in both of those we're being recognized for that."

The measures have helped Lowey's reduce its energy costs by almost 40 per cent.
