Organic seedling production is not without its challenges. We have been tweaking and refining our organic production system for over 20 years. In that time we have developed a robust nutrient management program with low risk of plant damage due to ammonia volatilization and other extremes. It is accomplished using a design unique to our facility, and based on our time spent in the Water Garden Industry.
Our organic facility is on its own dedicated footprint, and is serviced by a unique and independent water source. High tech equipment such as Netafim micro sprinklers and Bartlett control systems help to manage the greenhouse environment in order to achieve more efficient and sustainable operations.
The challenges are that we do not have as precise control over nutrient availability and thus plant timing. In addition, the cost of organic inputs is often high and more labor is required to ensure proper growth and care. On average we find the cost of organic production to be 33% higher than conventional. This increased cost is reflected in our pricing.
Please review our Requirements for Organic Growers in Grower Tools.
Industrial Hemp
We have been growing hemp seedlings since federal legalization in 2018. We pride ourselves on keeping the cost low for growers. This is thanks to the design of our facility to maximize growing space, keep inputs to a minimum, reduce pest and disease pressure, and achieve a healthy uniform crop.
A current Hemp License is required to place an order.
All terms for Industrial hemp are 70% prepay prior to seeding and the remaining balance is due on delivery/pick up.
