About Us

Our History

In July 2006, Eagle Bio-Fuels was founded as a value added agricultural business for Kruger Family Farms. Traditionally, the Kruger's sold all their corn to ADM in Winona. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans Port and caused Mississippi barge traffic to halt, the economic affect was felt on the Plainview farm. Tom & Sue agreed they needed to find another way to market a portion of their corn harvest. Local stove dealers suggested the Kruger’s supply and deliver clean dry corn to their corn stove users. Sue Kruger, a former market researcher, began doing some research and Tom attended a small local trade show and founded Eagle Bio-Fuels LLC.

Armed with a small mailing list, Eagle Bio-Fuels solicited business and advertised in newspapers. "Eagle has always valued our customer's suggestions. It has lead our company in the right quality and product directions," according to Sue Kruger. Eagle's customer asked for wood pellets mixed with corn which lead to complete line of corn/pellet blends for all types of heating mechanisms.

In 2007, Eagle Bio-Fuels decided to add a complete line of alternative fuels and accessories. Eagle became the Midwest distributor of Imperial Stove Maintenance products. Delivery service was expanded to add bulk delivery. After suffering the woes of the 2008 pellet shortage and quality inconsistency, the Kruger’s have invested in large quantities of wood pellets from reliable quality wood pellets plants in the United States. Now Eagle Bio-Fuels provides customers with a reliable supply of wood pellets under Eagle's label with Pellet Fuel Institute certification and Eagle guarantee.

Over the past years, Eagle Bio-Fuel's business has expanded to be more wholesale than retail. Eagle Bio-Fuels products can be found in hearth, farm supply and hardware stores across the Midwest. Eagle Bio-Fuels has its own transport division to assure the quality of the product from the farm to the store.
