FILLING CANOLA ORDERS

2010-04-22T02:38:00.000-07:00

Our entire process is done without the oil seeing the light of day until the final step. The second the oil drips from the expeller press it is encapsulated in a world of sterile stainless steel. Our filtration and holding tanks all keep the oil shielded from air and light until the final step when we fill the totes for our customers. We are working on automating this process to eliminate any human error.

FULL CIRCLE FOOD OIL EXPLAINED

2010-04-07T10:22:00.000-07:00

Our Full Circle concept was born one day while floating down the Loyalsock creek. Joshua Leidhecker had already started the business of contracting local farmers to grow Canola for him. At the time he was supplying large scale Bio-diesel plants with virgin Canola for ASTM grade Bio-d. He knew there was something missing.

While we were floating down the Loyalsock Creek in his canoe he explained his newest concept with me. The idea was to essentially lease the oil and then convert it to Bio-diesel. Susquehanna Smart Fuel then started a sister company called Susquehanna Mills.

We continued to contract local farmers within a 60 mile radius to grow Canola crops for us. After harvest, the Canola was trucked back to our food grade crushing facility where we produced the All Natural Food Oil. We would then supply local restaurants with our All Natural Oil for frying food. After the oil had done it's work, we collected it at no charge. We then react the used oil into biodiesel which is then traded to local farmers for more crops.

As the farmers put down the next crop, they are running their tractors on the waste of their previous crop. It is a Full Circle Process that is proprietary to us and our company. We are the first company in the United States to have such a system. It is a very cost intensive concept to set up. Between the actual cost of the infrastructure, we also have the cost of training those that run all the equipment. It may be hard work and it may cost some lots of money to produce, but it's worth it. Not only to have the All Natural Food Oil, but to be returning it to the earth the way we do.

We will soon be bottling and selling Virgin Canola Oil. We will be first in the country to provide consumers with Virgin Canola Oil. Our oil will be harvested, processed and bottled within 24 hours. You can't possibly get any fresher than that. Look for it at the Williamsport Growers Market this year.
