Gold'n Plump Water System Keeps Business Flowing, Water Clean

COLD SPRING — A steady stream of trucks pulls in and out of the GNP Company facility just about every day of the week, hauling Gold’n Plump and other chicken products to markets across the country.

Out of sight behind several buildings, a tiny creek flows out of a hillside and into the Sauk River. The water, clean enough to drink, comes from the company’s new treatment facility just east of the recently expanded processing plant.

GNP spent $10 million to install membrane bioreactor technology a year and a half ago, then dropped another $10 million last year to make the processing plant bigger to add new methods for cutting, deboning and ground chicken production.
