Hydroponics in Business [Sponsored Post]

 The demand for premium produce has risen dramatically over the past ten years. 
Consumers today want and will pay a premium price for produce that is known to be safe
 and free of harmful pesticides and herbicides.

The combination of  hydroponics technology  and a  controlled environment greenhouse is an ideal solution to filling this demand. With this combination a hydroponics grower can produce extremely high quality produce close to the marketplace. This eliminates the cost and damage that occurs in commercial trucking of field produce.

There are hydroponic farms throughout the United States and worldwide. Most hydroponic farms in the US are family or small businesses. Several large hydroponics facilities,  covering as much as 80 acres, are spread throughout the U.S.

The smaller hydroponic farms usually have 1/8 -1 acre in hydroponic production while the larger facilities average 20 - 40 acres. The smaller operations generally have the advantage of offering vine ripened produce and being near the marketplace. The premium quality of hydroponic produce is due to the controlled environment, green- house grade, grow lights, plant nutrients and the lack of herbicides and pesticides.
