Who We Are
Committed to growing high quality and safe food for all our customers, we believe that food
should not only taste great, but provide benefits beyond basic nutrition, and we are committed to
producing the best quality fresh produce possible whilst being environmentally responsible.
We use computerized dosing and monitoring equipment to maintain nutrients at the appropriate levels so greatly reducing wastage and ensuring efficient plant uptake. Hydroponics has higher yields and shorter times between harvests, so total output is greater than conventional soil systems.
Produce is only harvested when ready to be used, and this ensures the produce is fresh and has all its nutritional and medicinal properties intact (vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients).
