St Bethany Fresh

Farm2school cucumbers....Enjoy fresh tomatoes grown hydroponically in our state of the art hydroponic greenhouse. -What sets St Bethany Fresh apart? For the first time ever, Northeast Mississippians have a healthy option for fresh produce - year round. That is what sets us apart. With the largest commercial, totally computer controlled facility in Northeast Mississippi, the general public, as well as food providers such as hospitals, schools, restaurants, and grocery stores will have the option to purchase healthy, fresh, local produce year round as opposed to the typical 2 to 3 month local growing period. - NO CHEMICAL PESTICIDES USED IN THIS FACILITY - WATER CONSERVATION - St Bethany Fresh is extremely water conservation conscious and uses 1/20 of the amount of water compared to conventional irrigation systems. St Bethany Fresh uses reverse osmosis to remove impurities from the water before the water goes to the roots of the plants. -St Bethany Fresh will be open to the public, as well as to food providers, to actually come on site and see how their produce is grown. -St Bethany Fresh plans to make the facility available to local school systems in Northeast Mississippi for science teachers to use as a visual tool to teach dozens, if not hundreds, of science lessons (examples: periodic tables, plant physiology, the weather, etc.). -St Bethany Fresh looks forward to being a small part in helping meet the growing demands for healthy, local, fresh, chemical pesticide free produce. We want the general public, as well as food providers, to have a healthy option year round. St Bethany Fresh hopes that what we are doing will encourage entrepreneurs, farmers, and investors to build more organic farms, more hydroponic facilities, so this generation and the generations to come will have more and more opportunities to buy healthy, buy fresh, buy LOCAL.
