🥕 Free Tip Friday: Easy Cold Storage for Farms 🥕

Cold storage doesn’t have to mean a big capital investment. A CoolBot converts a standard A/C unit into a walk-in cooler system — a fraction of the cost of commercial refrigeration.

Even a shipping container can become cold storage with the right A/C window unit setup — a simple, low-cost way to add cold storage capacity wherever you need it on the farm.

👉 Tag a farm that could be (or already is!) using a CoolBot setup.

🌾 Want a lower energy bill on your farm?

Small operational changes can add up to real savings.

Shifting irrigation pumps, grain dryers, or cold storage away from peak pricing windows works automatically, with almost no manual effort.

One Texas farm cut annual energy costs by 25% just by adding simple timers on a time-of-use rate.

The case study is linked in our bio!

We handle it all — from supplier choice and rate options to bill audits, demand charge management, and incentive coordination.

How it works is simple:
1️⃣ Send us a recent bill
2️⃣ We run a free assessment and flag every savings opportunity
3️⃣ You decide — no pressure, no obligation

Ready to see what your farm could save? Send us a message or DM “SAVINGS” and we’ll get you started.

🌾 Energy Cost Control: Top Tips for Agriculture ⚡

Running a farm or ranch means managing a hundred moving parts — energy shouldn’t be the one draining your budget without you noticing.

What’s your biggest seasonal energy draw — irrigation pumps, grain drying, or cold storage? Drop it in the comments.

Swipe through for a few ways Texas ag operators are taking control of their energy costs:

✅ Utility Bill Audits — Farm energy accounts regularly have mistakes like misclassified rates, missed sales tax exemptions, and billing errors. A proper audit tells you if you’re overpaying and helps set an accurate rate moving forward.

✅ Time-of-Use & Timers — When running equipment, “when” matters as much as “how much.” Shifting usage to lower-cost windows can meaningfully cut your overall bill.

✅ Who We Serve — Independent farms & ranches, irrigation & pumping operations, livestock & poultry operators, processing & cold storage facilities, and multi-site ag groups.

Regulated or competitive market — we can help save your farm money.

A free assessment costs you nothing, and for most operators, we uncover real savings. 📩

Had an amazing time at Monday’s Houston Guild Gathering with the Texas Craft Brewers Guild 🍺 , hosted by Talyard Brewing Co . 🍻

The Guild hosts always give Allied Members the same VIP treatment as their brewer homies, and it says a lot about the community they’ve built. Talyard is absolutely worth the trek off the beaten path to Sugar Land—though I can’t promise you’ll get to taste Oktoberfest straight from what may be the freshest tap around.

Amazing b**r, amazing staff, and a facility full of delicious, delicious, and serious delicious brewing know-how.

The Texas Craft Brewers Guild may be one of the best professional associations I’ve had the chance to be part of.

Hello! I’m Eric — co-founder of N.O. Trap Kitchen. You might notice some changes at this page as content, and the page itself, transitions over to , but the mission stays the same: showing up for community and the people who keep it running.

Before Trap Kitchen, I built my career in the energy industry. I’m returning to that work — because after years of watching small business owners in hospitality and agriculture struggle with rising operating costs, I know exactly where I can help.

Red Shield provides energy advisory services that help businesses:
→ Secure better energy rates through smart procurement
→ Audit utility invoices for billing errors and overcharges
→ Access equipment rebate programs to reduce costs long-term

These are the kinds of resources that larger companies take for granted. We’re making them available to the businesses that need them most — restaurants, farms, independent operators — in Louisiana and across the region.

Community involvement and local activism remain a priority. That work isn’t going anywhere.

If you own a business and want to talk through your energy costs, feel free to reach out directly. Happy to take a look and see where there’s opportunity.

Follow along at or stick around here when the handle changes!

— Eric

With a heavy heart, we share that the New Orleans Trap Kitchen has closed its doors for good. It’s been an honor to be the City’s favorite commissary for the past 5 years, having watched a ton of great chefs and producer’s grow their food and beverage businesses while serving as a community hub through entrepreneurial support, mutual aid, and event hosting. We appreciate everyone that has ever come through the Trap cooking as a client, supporting pop-ups, setting up at markets, or just dropping off cans!

As the commissary closes, we hope to utilize this platform for continued support of talented small food businesses. Stay tuned to find out what our next move might be: Permit and license consults and advocacy? Food & bev influencer? Oyster taster (always & forever, duh!)?

It was an amazing journey on our little corner of Poland Ave.! Thanks to all who were a part of it!
