About the Market
Background
The greenhouse business has established itself as a provider of a wide variety of plants, particularly known for its extensive collection of over 80 varieties of hostas. Over the years, it has become a staple at the Brockville and Ottawa farmer's markets, offering both plants and produce directly to customers.
Practices
The business employs a combination of hydroponic and traditional field growing methods to cultivate its plants. Heirloom seeds are used for growing peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes, ensuring a diverse and robust selection of produce. The integration of hydroponic techniques allows for efficient water use and controlled growing conditions, while field growing connects the plants to the natural soil ecosystem.
The Rest
Products are sold directly to the public at the farmgate and at local farmer's markets. Farm tours are frequently conducted, providing visitors with an inside look at the growing processes and plant varieties.
