ADDISON — The Dubois Farm in Addison this week flipped a switch and brought its methane digester on line.

The $2.6 million digester is expected to generate enough power to run 400 homes, and it will take its place as the 10th working digester in Vermont — including the one at Foster Brothers Farm in Middlebury, which has been in operation since the 1980s.
