Vignolo Farms & Top Brass Marketing announce new solar array

Vignolo Farms & Top Brass Marketing have announced the completion of a 1 MW solar energy system with REC Solar. The new 1 MW solar array system will offset 75 percent of power needs for its cold storage facility while significantly reducing its carbon footprint. Vignolo Farms is a 75 year old family run farm in California’s San Joaquin Valley and Top Brass Marketing is the official sales agent for the farms fresh produce.

The installation of the solar energy system is the capstone in the farm’s comprehensive sustainability portfolio, which includes on-site recycling of growing materials, drip irrigation to preserve water, and composting to enrich crops and reduce waste. Vignolo Farms, a third-generation, family-run farm that produces table grapes, wine grapes and potatoes, is a leader in sustainable agricultural practices.

“Vignolo Farms knows that sustainability isn’t a marketing campaign, but a real business asset,” said Brett Dixon, president of Top Brass Marketing, the sales agent for all Vignolo Farms products. “We’ve seen a sharp uptick in customer demand for sustainable produce, so generating our own solar energy was a natural next move for us. REC Solar installed our system and they have installed solar systems for more than two-dozen large and small growers and cold storage facilities throughout the state.”
