Manure to become energy in Mount Joy
Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster Online, March 09, 2007

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. - Not so long ago, farmers Bill and Nanette Furina
considered shutting down their Egg Basket farm in Mount Joy.

"We said, 'If we're going to stay here, we're going to have to find some
way to generate our own electricity,'" Mr. Furina said.

Thursday, the Furinas announced a partnership with an alternative-energy
company they hope will help keep their farm viable for years to come.

EnergyWorks, of Annapolis, Md., has agreed to build an anaerobic
digestion plant on the poultry farm that would produce biogas from waste
created by the Furinas' 400,000 chickens.
