Bayview Flowers is a greenhouse operation that grows potted plants and cut flowers under 340,000 square feet of greenhouses. In 2007, Bayview installed a 1,200m3 anaerobic digester with the involvement of PlanET Biogas. Manure, Grape Pumice, Corn Silage, Pet food and other organic materials are fed into the anaerobic digester which produces biogas to fuel a 250kW Scania generator as well to burn in a retrofitted boiler. Electricity is sold to the electrical grid and heat is used in the greenhouse operation.
