Directions About the Market
Background
Since the 1980s, they have been pioneering soilless systems in controlled environment greenhouses. At their peak, they were producing and distributing 60,000 lbs. of hydroponic tomatoes annually.
Practices
Utilizing a commercial aquaponic system, they integrate fish farming with vegetable cultivation, creating a symbiotic environment where fish waste provides nutrients for plants, and plants help filter and clean the water for the fish.
The Rest
Their current production includes a diverse array of produce and fish, catering to a market that values fresh, locally grown food.
