About Us

^{Harmony Grove Farm is a small one-family farm}

^{practicing natural hydroponics. It’s just me, my husband, & his mom,}

^{NO employees. Help from our kids is always precious. We start over a thousand seeds every week and this sometimes seems like a long and tedious job. But the truth is that this is part of a miracle in farming! Every tiny seed we put in by hand is amazingly brought into life just in a few days! Then they start growing, eventually becoming nutritious “food” for us to eat so we can live!}

^{We often overlook all the beautiful practice of Mother Nature, and forget those little but amazing things happening all around us. So let us not walk sightless among miracles! Life is filled with blessings!}

^{We thank you for having our produce on your table throughout the season. Your support is making this small farming life possible & rewarding. All of our produce has been started from seeds by our hand and taken care of by us until they are harvested. We strive for producing fresh & nutritious food for our dear customers.}

^{Sending peace & happy produce your way,}

^{Harmony Grove Farm}

Now at Harmony Grove, we primarily grow lettuce and salad greens in pristine greenhouses. The new greenhouse, 96 x 34 ft, built spring of 2013, throws light around beautifully. It's a very peaceful and quiet space.

From seed to fully grown, it can take two months to grow the lettuce. But with 4,100 spots, we can harvest constantly. Demand for all natural produce is high in the market for beautiful, local lettuces. In order to keep operations going year-round, the greenhouse is heated using wood, propane, & anthracite coal.

Growing hydroponically, we use a looped water system to control the amount of water for each plant. It's a clean system that uses 100% pure minerals and no harmful chemicals or pesticides. We practice IPM (Integrated Pest Management), which uses beneficial insects, like ladybugs, to keep populations of harmful insects at a manageable level. Here at Harmony Grove, like so many other greenhouse operations, the biggest threat is aphids, but they are no match for the thousands of ladybugs that are released at a single time!

In the dead of winter, we do what we can to control temperatures in the greenhouse, but can't control the amount of sunlight the crops get. Lack of sun slows production significantly. During the winter, we spend a lot of time to maintain the best environment for the greens. In spring, all attention moves to maintaining the system and growing.

Thank you for visiting us!
