Land and Water Conservation

Eurofresh Farms products are all greenhouse grown, which greatly reduces land usage and is 10 times more productive than open field cultivation. Greenhouse growing ensures optimal environmental conditions and provides the perfect mix of nutrients for our plants, yielding the highest quality produce.  Because our plants grow high on a wire, they are about three times denser than field grown tomatoes.

Eurofresh’s greenhouse environment is ideal for water conservation.  Greenhouse growing uses just one-third the amount of water of field grown crops. Our plants receive just the right amount of nutrient-rich water and any un-used water from the plants is recycled, sterilized and reused to ensure quality and safety.

We exercise soil-free growing practices, predominately using rockwool, within our clean, sanitary, indoor greenhouse environments, which helps to control diseases. Eurofresh is currently evaluating the use of coco peat (a by-product of coconut husks) as a more eco friendly alternative.
