Micro and Specialty Farming Links

Here's an interesting inquiry we got this week


I want to grow vegetables hydroponically for my business. (Especially tomatoes,cucumbers,peppers,etc. mushrooms?) I want to be able to grow vegetables year round if possible. Are there limitations as to what kind of plants you can grow or does it just depend on how much space you have?

Just about any vegetable can be grown hydroponically - even root crops like potatoes & carrots. The limitation are usually space and energy. There are lots of resources on the internet for folks growing specialty crops. Below i am pasting a few of our favorite.

Good luck!
