Protecting Our Orchard Together

Our collaboration with AGI Frost Fans is essential to maintaining the quality and sustainability of our cherry production. The electric frost fighting fans from AGI are strategically placed throughout Forest Lodge Orchard to provide optimal protection against frost. These fans work by circulating warmer air from above the orchard down to the ground, preventing frost from settling on our cherry blossoms and fruit.

‍

The process of importing AGI Frost Fans from South Africa was seamless and efficient. AGI's global logistics network ensured that the fans were delivered promptly and installed without any disruption to our operations. Traditional frost protection methods often rely on fuel-powered systems, which are not only costly but also contribute to higher carbon emissions. AGI’s electric fans, on the other hand, offer a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative, aligning perfectly with our mission to operate a 100% electric orchard.

‍

Their electric fans operate at a lower cost compared to fuel-powered alternatives, offering significant savings on our operational expenses. AGI Frost Fans provide us with peace of mind, knowing that our cherries are protected from frost-related damage.
