LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 16, 2013) - ?Greengro
Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GRNH), a world class world class
provider in agricultural science system, has announced plans to
launch the BP Gardens Farmers Market at the 4.5-acre BP Gardens
Center located at 7701 Knott Ave. in Buena Park, Calif.
The BP Gardens Farmers Market will sell a broad selection of
fresh produce, including fruits -- apples, grapes, peaches, plums
and more -- and fresh organic vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers,
cucumbers, lettuces and more.?
"We plan to create a venue to help educate the community about
how food is grown naturally and about the science involved in
future farming.?Our farmers market will provide Orange County
shoppers with ways to interact with our grow operations to educate
themselves about the source of their food and how it is made.
Greengro is enthusiastic about providing restaurant operators,
grocery stores and city residents with fresh seasonal produce in
Buena Park at the BP Gardens Farmers Market," said James Haas, CEO
of Greengro Technologies.
The market will also offer baked goods and feature local
artisans and prepared food vendors.?Along with fruits, nuts and
vegetables, BP Gardens will also offer fish freshly harvested from
its own onsite aquaponics operation. The BP Gardens Farmers Market
is seeking top-quality farmers and growers to sell their products
at a California certified farmers market where fresh food is sold
directly to the public.?
Every farmer who sells at certified markets like the BP Gardens
Farmers Market is inspected by the Orange County agricultural
commissioner to make sure the farmer actually grows the commodity
being sold.?Vendors at the BP Gardens Farmers Market must hold an
agricultural certificate issued by the agricultural commissioner of
the county in which their crops are grown.?Non-certified growers
cannot sell produce (or even flowers and plants) in the BP Gardens
Farmers Market.?
Greengro is currently breaking the ground for the first-phase of
its initial BP Gardens project, set on prime real estate space
strategically located in the heart of Buena Park.?The property,
formerly John's Wholesale Nursery, currently features 30,000 square
feet of existing greenhouse facilities.?In addition, an abundance
of open area on the site is available for an additional 18,000
square feet of greenhouse structures for research and development
(R&D) and future community activities.
The process from cleanup to designing of the aquaponics system
and greenhouses will be completed by the end of November, according
to Haas.?The planning for integrating Greengro's vertical
cultivation garden system into BP Gardens will also be completed by
late November.
The Buena Park project calls for remodeling the site's existing
greenhouses, each of which will be refurbished or purpose built and
will highlight the most advanced and cost-effective commercial
growing systems in use today.
