Hydroponics
Expanding with Hydroponics
More than 100 years after the first seed was planted, the family passion for the land and growing has expanded with the completion of our first state-of-the-art, hydroponic greenhouse. It is with a sense of pride and passion that we blend the traditional values of farming with the current technology of hydroponics. Lettuces and herbs will now be grown in 4,320 square feet of controlled, sustainable, pesticide-free environment. We are excited to be able to bring you the freshest produce available 365 days a year.
HYDROPONICS
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is a production system that allows plants to grow without soil. Plants are grown entirely in a nutrient-rich water solution that is constantly flowing past the roots, allowing each plant to take up the necessary nutrients. The hydroponic system is housed in a climate-controlled greenhouse, allowing year-round production.
