Please enjoy a photo tour of our greenhouse...

 

Tomato plants on nursery bench

We start from seed on our nursery benches, each seed has its separate pot with an emitter to fertilize and water.  

 

Looking down the rows of plantsNew tomato plants

 

We now use a state of the art hydroponic production system.

Recirculating the water/fertilizer mix through a fleece matting on which the root system attaches itself,

rather than our older method of using five gallon plastic bags filled with a soil mix.  

 

 

Tomatoes on the vine

 

The tomatoes grow to be eight and a half feet tall.

We grew many varieties before finding,

what we think, is the perfect tomato.

Our customers seem to agree with our decision!

We've added to our product line this year with a cluster tomato

and also, cherry tomatoes...

 

We sell at six or seven farmer's markets locally,

and also to several restaurants, grocery stores and

to wholesale brokers.

We also grow four flavors of basil,

Italian, Napaletano, Purple Opal and Lemon flavors.

We grow our basil in hanging PVC pipe (a very pure form of hydroponics).

We saw a system similar on a futuristic Science Fiction movie the other day and had to laugh. :D

It was supposed to be 300 years into the future :D

European cucumbers are grown vertically.

They climb up strings.

This utilizes more of the greenhouse space.

Cucumbers hang down so they will remain straight.

This way they are easily packaged.

 

 

 

 

Purple Bell Peppers

 

 

 

 

Bell peppers are a new product that we are working on perfecting...

We grow six different colors of peppers...

Red, Yellow, Orange, Black, White and Purple.

 

Red, yellow, orange peppers are very sweet, with orange being the sweetest.

Black, white and purple peppers taste more like a green bell pepper.
