Energrow had their farm-scale oilseed press on exhibit at the 2013 New York Farm Show. The press takes soybeans and crushes them making a fresh-press soybean meal for dairy cows, while extracting oil at the same time.

Energrow Inc. is dedicated to helping local farmers obtain the most value from their crops and save on feed, fuel, and electrical energy expenses. Ensuring customer satisfaction by implementing a highly durable product, supported by outstanding customer service, is the company’s number one priority. Creating presses with integrative adaptability for each farm is central to Energrow Inc.’s philosophy. Energrow Inc. is a company by farmers, for farmers. All presses are
manufactured through parts supplied by local businesses and Energrow Inc. affiliates in Ontario.
The Energrow Expeller is a European inspired cold screw press made to suit the needs of farmers here in North America. This press enables farmers to control their own commodity and add value to their product by integrating it into farm life thereby minimizing various external costs such as feed, fuel, and even electricity. The unit processes oilseeds (i.e. canola, soybeans, hemp) and produces two bioproducts: meal (a pelletized animal feed high in energy and protein), and oil (a value-added product that has many uses incl. feed, lubricant, fuel).
Energrow was founded in 2006 and is located in Listowel, ON, which is 40 kilometres east of Kitchener. Energrow has been developing its product through extensive testing and valuable insight from local area farmers. The company advanced into the market with its first official product launch in May 2008.
Jasmin Hofer has a BA degree in Honours Arts Co-op from the University of Waterloo with a specialization in Language and International Trade. With experience growing up on a dairy farm combined with travels to Switzerland, Jasmin developed a keen sense for the heartaches that farmers suffer from the costs of running a farm operation. Her affiliations with the MBET (Master of Business, Entrepreneurship & Technology) program at the University of Waterloo, Bioenterprise, and Perth Community Futures Development Corporation give her a competitive edge to forge lasting partnerships and apply her business knowledge of Canada’s agricultural industry. A strong understanding of the agricultural situation in Ontario enables Jasmin to perfect the development of Energrow Inc.’s vegetable-oil-production system.
