Report
Encore did a great job completing a solar project on our active dairy farm in Essex Junction, VT. This work resulted in us receiving an annual lease payment that allows us to improve our farmstead, maintain topsoil integrity, and ultimately diversify the way we use our land while producing clean renewable energy.
