SunRidge Farms believes in doing things the natural way. The fruits, nuts, seeds and candies they grow, package and distribute are raised organically to be healthy, all-natural snacks. In line with this ideology is SunRidge Farms’ commitment to renewable energy. They have been using a 99 kW photovoltaic system since 2007, but contracted RGS Energy to upgrade it to a large 559 kW system in 2011.
