Sustainability projects make good business sense.
“One of the reasons we’ve been able to be in business for this long
is because we’ve made sustainability a priority in our family
and in our business for a number of years.”
Will Heeman, Chief Daymaker, Heeman’s

What’s Good for the Environment is Good for the Bottom Line
Will Heeman, now the third generation of the family involved in the growing business and Chief Daymaker at Heeman’s, firmly believes that what’s good for the environment is good for the bottom line. Recognizing that growing food has an impact on the environment, Heeman’s has always searched for better solutions to minimize their environmental impact, and has found that more often than not, that has led to operational efficiencies and savings at the same time.
