Mac & Leslie McQuown
Proprietors
After earning a mechanical engineering degree at Northwestern University, a Harvard M.B.A., and serving as an officer in the navy, Mac embarked on a career in banking and finance in New York. He joined Wells Fargo in San Francisco in 1964, where he and colleagues created the first stock index fund. He subsequently founded and built several entrepreneurial businesses.
Mac began collecting wine in 1965. With his friend Dick Graff, the legendary winemaker, he co-founded the Chalone Wine Group in 1970, serving on its board for twenty-five years. In 1980 he co-founded Carmenet Winery and began an enduring friendship with Jeff Baker, now Stone Edge Farm’s winemaker.
Mac credits his wife, Leslie, with providing Stone Edge Farm’s overarching aesthetic vision. Her eye for design informs the property’s architecture and landscaping, with its outdoor rooms, inviting courtyards, and art pieces.
AutoARK ® 400 bar 330 Triple Twin
Hydrogen Generator with 6,000 PSI booster , purifier, & 6 KG storage for Aruba
AutoARK ® 330 Triple Twin
Hydrogen Generator Installed at Blue Planet Research on the Big Island Hawaii
Mega Watt scale systems for large wind and solar farms (19 ft by 7 ft)
Powered by 120 or 220 volts
Each 10 stack system will consume approximately 336 KW and produce approximately 168 kilograms per day. Three of these units combined would consume just over 1 Mega watt of power and produce approximately 504 Kilograms of H2 per 24 hour day
Producing Hydrogen from 4 KG , 8KG, and 12 KG per day from water and electricity, these models can be linked together to accommodate any demand for onsite hydrogen production and can utilize renewable electricity.
The SHFA appliance is encased in a stainless steel cabinet housing which protects all hoses, and the J2600 dispensing nozzle. The unit has multiple key locked entry points for servicing and dispensing. Safety diagnostics are ran continuously.
12 kg H2 production, purification, compression with 24 KG storage/dispenser at 6,000 psi (400 bar) inside MRE’s customer built, sensor equipped housings

Since 1990, DC Systems has been a leading developer of Smart Grid software solutions for utility companies, power generators, and large energy users. We put intelligence where it is needed—in the field or substation—while centralizing configuration, administration, and monitoring at the enterprise level. Our optimized architecture allows for greater flexibility, control, and responsiveness.

Beta Phase Components:
The primary directive of the Microgrid project is to reduce the carbon footprint of the Stone Edge Farm property as well as establish a degree of energy independence.
This goal is to be the fundamental design consideration at all times. This goal shall be used for guidance when determining system changes, equipment choices, and implementation of work efforts.
It is the intent of the parties involved to see how far below zero a 16 acre urban farm can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
