As another example of Habersham EMC's commitment to improving the lives of rural residents in northeast Georgia, the electric co-op founded a 100% fiber subsidiary, Trailwave in 2012. Agriculture was one of the first industries to experience significant growth due to electricity; now local agri-businesses have embraced the technological benefits Trailwave offers. teXga Farms, a direct to consumer beef and pork operation in northern Habersham County is one example.
"We depend on Trailwave to manage and track online orders daily and remotely monitor the temperatures of our walk-in freezers. It also allows us to use our phones through wifi-calling to communicate with customers and vendors from the barn office since we don't have cell service there," shares Caroline Lewallen, who owns the farm with her husband, Kyle. "The speed and stability we've seen with Trailwave has been unmatched compared to our previous provider. Customer service is their focus and priority, too!"
Trailwave is proudly connected to agriculture and proud to connect local agriculture to the world.
