VT trip part 2: Vermont Hydroponics
Narrated by Ciaran
After Harlow Farm, Michael, Kate and I traveled to Florence Vermont to meet Jeff Jones at Vermont Hydroponics. His facility is situated in a beautiful valley up in the mountains.
If only our office had a view like this...
The cooler mountain air provides the ideal place to grow Hydroponic green house Tomatoes as it generally does not get too hot, though yesterday it was near 90 degrees. His facility had four greenhouses, one was in full production mode and the Vines were big and all started from seed.
Basil and lettuce starts inthe greenhouse.

In another were the tomato starters and the beginnings of a lettuce and basil program for them. The whole facility was so clean and efficient. So what will the future hold for Red Tomato and Vermont Hydroponics hold? Not sure but as Jeff said the reason he contacted us was he thought a company named Red Tomato might like to be associated with his big red tomatoes.
