Toigo Organic Farms constructing greenhouse in Central Pennsylvania

From The Sentinel (via www.cumberlink.com): 

A large greenhouse meant to grow organic produce is beginning to take root in the Midstate.

Toigo Organic Farms LLC, of Shippensburg, has begun construction on the first of potentially three greenhouses in the 300 block of Old Stonehouse Road North with an estimated cost of construction of nearly $1.8 million, according to a stormwater management plan filed by Toigo in May.

The greenhouse, imported from Bom Greenhouses in the Netherlands, will be more than 240,000 square feet, covering nearly five acres of land, and will be used to grow organic tomatoes, according to Mark Toigo of Toigo Organic Farms.

“The demand for local and organic food is certainly here,” he said. “Central Pennsylvania is certainly a great place to produce.”
