Produce Grown All Naturally on Our Farms!. |
 |
Our produce is grown in Cocoa. Always fresh, never trucked in!
The Green Marketplace was created by small local farmers. We will only sell produce that is fresh picked (most is picked within a day), grown with sustainable, all-natural methods, and only what is in season. Our local farms are all located in the Cocoa/Canaveral Groves neighborhood. We will also bring in specialty produce and farm products like mangoes, citrus, and starfruit in from other parts or Brevard, but only after we have been to their farms and are assured that the products are grown naturally.

Hydroponically-grown Produce.
Hise Farms is a family owned and operated farm,
run by Tim and Mary Hise. We use various
hydroponic methods to grow our produce. By
using a vertical growing method we are able to grow more produce in a smaller
space with less pest problems and weeding as with conventional ground
crops. Currently, we are growing 6000+
strawberry plants using the vertical system.
The lettuce is grown using a Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) system that
can produce up to 480 heads of lettuce at a time. This type of production lets us harvest the
lettuce with the roots intact giving the consumer a living lettuce that is more
nutritional. Various other vegetables and
herbs are grown under greenhouse using soil-less methods. We also use only natural and organic
fertilizers, pest, and disease control methods. The hydroponic methods that we
use give us greater control to produce cleaner, abundant, and healthy produce
for your table.
