Nation’s Oldest Family Mushroom Farm Goes Solar

“Keeping mushroom crops in a controlled environment requires a tremendous amount of electricity to maintain optimal growing conditions, and we thought it was a natural step to use solar power to shoulder some of that load,” said Marlboro Mushrooms’ Tom Brosius. “It is great to harvest the sun’s power and take advantage of a renewable resource. We anticipate it will generate 100% of our annual electric needs.”
