It’s The EcoFarms International Difference.

Do you know where your produce comes from? It’s kind of a scary thing, but the truth of the matter really is that most of us here in the United States actually have very little knowledge at all about where our foods—whether they happen to be vegetables, fruits, proteins, or even the mass-production varieties—comes from.

Considering the fact that many typical supermarket “fresh” foods, especially during non-peak growing seasons, are actually picked green and come from thousands of miles away from our homes, it’s no wonder that opinions are beginning to change on a widespread level. Americans are starting to demand “quality food” over “quantity food.”

Today’s consumer is increasingly seeking better quality food for a multitude of reasons—from better attitudes towards our health, to the ever-growing desire to reduce our impact on the environment. With this in mind, organic foods are currently the fastest growing segment in U.S. agriculture; it’s forecasted to continue growth at double-digit rates for the foreseeable future. The message is clear; we all deserve better foods, produced organically, locally, and sustainably. But to achieve this ambition, old-fashioned agricultural production philosophies aren’t necessarily able to deliver.

What Makes The EcoFarms Production & Distribution Philosophy Different?

Our way of doing business is different from mass-produced agriculture (and even many smaller-scale organic growing facilities). We believe in ensuring that our customers receive premium Certified Organic foods, not just during peak growing season, but rather, 365 days of the year. This is possible thanks in part to our specially-developed controlled environment biosystems.

• We grow delicious and nutritious premium organic produce in carbon-neutral, sustainable agricultural facilities.
• We ensure our quality foods reach the market place as quickly as possible (within 48 hours) after their harvesting by producing them locally within their intended distribution area.
• We sustainably produce and make available to the market better quality organic foods all year-round by using technologically advanced self-powered greenhouse facilities.

With a substantial commitment to developing tomorrow’s sustainable agriculture production technologies, we’re constantly optimizing and improving our production and business philosophies to not just stay ahead of the curve in the industry—but rather, to pave the way and be a model for future harvesting techniques.

Remember, local produce is simply fresher produce. Keeping production local not only means much more delicious vegetables and fruits, but also, it keeps the adverse effects of long range, over-the-road transportation at a minimum. Again, the key to accomplishing this new wave of local production is to be able to operate growing facilities all year-round, even in climate zones where this has typically not been efficient or effective with yesterday’s greenhouse facility technology.

EcoFarms International is committed to developing and building the next generation of controlled environment biosystems—completely sustainable and self-powered. The end result is better organic food, fresh and local. That’s the EcoFarms difference.
