Green Technology Heating PipesTo achieve the maximum space efficiency, reduce labor expenses, and guarantee quality, a highly automated and computerized system is utilized in the growing facility.

All of the water used in the growing process is 100% recycled and reused. With drought concerns facing growers worldwide, rain water has become a vital irrigation source. Collecting rain water alone accounts for 1.5 million gallons of fresh water added to our retention ponds for every 1 inch of rain received.

The entire supply of plastics and cardboards used in the production and distribution process are recycled, and efforts are frequently being made to provide our customers with eco-friendly containers as well as highly efficient distribution solutions.
