Temp Produce & Hydroponics

We locally grow non-GMO produce all year long. Our products are fresher, more nutritious, lasts longer and

tastes better than what is typically purchased in grocery stores. Our current crops include:

>        Lettuces – Romaine, Butterhead, Summer Crisp, Greenleaf, Red Oakleaf

>        Leafy Greens – Kale, Swiss Chard, Arugula, Spinach

>        Herbs – Basil, Cilantro, Parsley (Italian & Curly), Chives, Mint, Oregano, Sage, Rosemary,
Datil Pepper, Habanero Pepper

>        Vegetables – Eggplant

 

New Crops coming in 2020:

>        Tomatoes

>        Cucumbers

>        Microgreens (spicy and mild)

>        Zucchinis

>        Yellow Squash

 

Hydroponics

Hydroponic growing use nutrients dissolved in water without using soil. Using this efficient growing

method along with greenhouses, allow us to realize the following benefits:

>        Minimize Water Use typically using less than 10% of the water compared to field grown crops

>        Minimize Pests allowing for exclusive use of organic pest control methods

>        Faster Growth and higher yield of up to 300% versus traditional farming

>        Cleaner product which is not exposed to soil

 

Greenhouse Growing

The use of greenhouses, also known as controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) adds additional
advantages to the use of hydroponics including:

>        Year-round Growing

>        Controlled Access

>        Cleaner Environment

>        Protected Work Environment

 

Natural light, protected air flow, evaporative cooling and shade cloths are some of the methods used to
safely and efficiently take advantage of this environment for growing.

 

Organic Pest Control

The combination of hydroponics and greenhouses limits pressures from insects, plant diseases and the
environment. Only organically approved (OMRI) and natural products (e.g., beneficial insects) are used
from propagation to harvest.

 

Food Safety

The controlled-environment of the greenhouses and the soil-less growing with hydroponics allow for one
of the cleanest growing conditions to meet the highest food safety standards. In addition, strict cleaning and
sanitization practices help us supply the safest, best tasting and looking produce around.
