Oak Ridge Farms Hydroponics, LLC
About Oak Ridge Farms Hydroponics, LLC:
We currently have a two bay hydroponic system which contains special trays for growing lettuce. We started this business because it would add value to our small farm, provide a part-time work place for family members and to provide fresh local food to our community.
General Practices:
We use clean water from our well which is tested and monitored regularly. Our water usage is only 1/10 of the amount as it would be if grown outside. We do not use harmful pesticides or herbicides. We cannot be called organic because there is no soil involved, but this alone removes the risk of contamination that can be present in soils. This is a very clean way of growing produce. We package our lettuce either in bulk or individually in crispers. The crispers are made of PETE material which is globally recognized as recyclable packaging material.
