OrganicaWorld constructing large Floridian greenhouses

One of the largest organic hydroponic greenhouse projects in Florida, constructed by OrganicaWorld, LLC, is scheduled to be complete by Fall 2014. The company is building twin greenhouses for organic vegetable production. The 880,000 sq.-ft. greenhouses are engineered with custom growing systems that will hydroponically grow an array of organic vegetables, fruits, herbs, and nutraceuticals.

The site project is taking place in Groveland, Fla.  With plans to build one new greenhouse facility every 90 days, the future of Groveland and Central Florida may soon span greenhouses across the horizon, adding employment opportunities.

The growing systems created and engineered by OrganicaWorld can produce upwards of 77,000 heads of lettuce per week in a single greenhouse facility.  By providing the plants with the exact micronutrients they need to grow, while protecting them in a controlled environment, all of the beneficial nutrients and flavor end up in the final product. 

The facilities will use four 500,000 gallon in-ground cisterns to collect rainwater to recycle through the hydroponic growing system. This unique system offers a way of protecting the Florida Aquifer. Supplemental lighting is provided by LEDs, keeping cooling and energy costs low and will target specific wavelengths during vegetative and fruiting stages.

OrganicaWorld, LLC is also breaking ground on the SuperGreenFeed facility in the Fall of 2014. The SuperGreenFeed system is predicted to be producing 1,560 acres of animal feed on a 0.5 acre parcel of land.  OrganicaWorld is developing a super green feed system, which will be housed within a completely hydroponic greenhouse. Feed will be grown in seven day cycles, continuously, and delivered to farmers as a living, nutrient rich, certified organic, super green feed.
