In 2009, we started to move our vegetable production into greenhouses. Greenhouse vegetable production is widely used globally for obvious reasons. Greenhouses allow a more controlled environment and protection from the weather and pests, thus enabling higher yields and superior product quality compared to products planted in the open field.
11 years on after we broke ground at our farm, all of our production comes from our green houses. Utilizing an automated fertigation (fertilizer and irrigation) system, we are able to reduce the overall use of water for growing our vegetables. The automated system also allows us to adjust our fertigation program to different growing conditions resulting from changes in the weather. This monitoring system allows us to focus our effort on ensuring that we deliver the best quality vegetables, fruits (namely tomatoes), herbs, and spices.
The main composition of our production are salad leaves, Asian greens, tomatoes, lettuces and baby leaves, but we continue to look for produce to add to our list to offer our customers a one-stop shopping option for their fresh vegetables.
