Goby Walnut Products is very concerned with the impact we are having on our environment. Our wood comes from local Northwest trees that are either hazard or salvage. Our buildings are heated with offcuts from these trees through a very efficient wood fired boiler system. Side cuts from flooring become butcher block countertops. Walnut planer shavings are a natural weed suppressor and we are developing packaging to sell the shavings as a natural alternative to chemical weed suppressants. The Goby delivery truck runs on bio-diesel and Goby Walnut Products is in the process of “smartwood” certification. At Goby Walnut Products we see no reason why responsible environmental practices cannot co-exsist with successful business.
