OUR STORY
Shading Cows, Shining Futures:
How Cow Shades Revolutionizes Dairy Farming
On a sweltering 100-degree day while driving through Sonoma and Napa, Francie Finn noticed cows huddled under the sparse shade of a lone tree or billboard, seeking respite from the sun. This sparked the idea for Cow Shades: innovative solar shade structures designed to protect dairy cows from the harsh sun. What began as a mission to provide shelter evolved into a deep partnership with dairy farmers. Recognizing the challenges of rising utility rates and stringent regulations, Francie expanded Cow Shades to offer comprehensive services like AgMatch, Farming as a Service, and Carbon Consulting. These initiatives are tailored to ease the burden on farmers, helping them navigate and comply with California's environmental laws effortlessly. Cow Shades stands at the intersection of animal welfare and agricultural sustainability, committed to supporting farmers in their journey towards efficiency and regulatory compliance.
