VanEss and Legacy Dairies refers to dairy farming operations focused on milk production and herd management. The farms supply raw milk to dairy processors and operate livestock and manure management systems typical of modern dairying.
From an industrial and environmental perspective, these operations generate manure-based organic waste streams that can serve as feedstock for anaerobic digestion to produce biogas or renewable natural gas, and for nutrient recovery solutions involving nitrogen and phosphorus. This positions the dairies at the intersection of agriculture, energy, and environmental services, with relevance to emissions mitigation, wastewater treatment, and circular-economy value chains connected to the chemical and process industries.
