CARIBBEAN HYDROPONICS CONSULTANTS

LET US TAKE YOU INTO THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE CARIBBEAN 

 

CARIBBEAN HYDROPONICS IS BACK IN THE CARIBBEAN AGAIN! OUR NEWEST GREENHOUSE LOCATED IN A RESORT ON THE BEAUTIFUL ISLAND OF ANTIGUA IS NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL. EVERYONE IS EXCITED TO HAVE THIS FACILITY, ESPECIALLY THE CHEF, AND GUESTS WHO LOVE, FRESH, LOCAL, HEALTHY, PESTICIDE FREE FOOD THAT THEY CAN SEE GROWING. WE ARE NOW TEACHING TWO WONDERFUL, LOCAL ANTIGUAN’S TO MANAGE THE GREENHOUSE AND TAKE OVER THE COMPLETE OPERATION. THE BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE PRODUCE, A CONSTANT SUPPLY AND A HUGE VARIETY OF CHOICES ALSO ADD VALUE TO THE RESORT.

WE PROMOTE THE USE OF THE TROPICAL SCREEN-HOUSE/GREENHOUSE WHICH USES NATURAL PASSIVE VENTILATION. THIS DESIGN DOES NOT CONSUME LARGE AMOUNTS OF EXPENSIVE ELECTRICITY! WE DON’T USE FANS THAT SUCK ALL YOUR PROFIT OUT THE WINDOW. WE USE LESS THAN 1/10TH THE WATER OF FIELD GROWN CROPS.

WHETHER YOU OWN A RESORT OR JUST WANT TO HAVE A GREENHOUSE TO SELL HEALTHY VEGETABLE TO YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY, WE CAN HELP YOU ! WE CAN WORK VIRTUALLY OR WILL COME TO YOUR LOCATION AND GET YOU STARTED AND STAY UNTIL YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST CROP !

WE FIRST START WITH SITE SELECTION AND THEN ONCE THE GREENHOUSE IS CONSTRUCTED PROPER VARIETIES MUST BE SELECTED TO GROW SUCCESSFULLY IN THE CARIBBEAN. JUST SELECTING THE PROPER VARIETIES WILL NOT INSURE SUCCESS WITHOUT AN ECONOMICAL GREENHOUSE SUITABLE FOR TROPICAL ENVIRONMENTS. CARIBBEAN HYDROPONICS OFFERS EXPERIENCED ADVISE TO COMMERCIAL ENTITIES INCLUDING COMMERCIAL FARMS AND RESORT HOTELS, AS WELL AS SMALL FARMERS WHO WISH TO PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY, SUSTAINABLE FOOD. TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURE IS DYING IN THE CARIBBEAN AND MUST BE REPLACED WITH RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY TO ENSURE FOOD SECURITY AND FREEDOM. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS AVAILABLE NOW WITH HYDROPONICS AND IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH VERY FEW ENERGY INPUTS, MUCH LESS WATER, LESS ELECTRICITY, LESS FERTILIZER AND WITHOUT USING ANY POISONOUS PESTICIDES.

WE WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW IT IS DONE. THE CARIBBEAN SHOULD NOT NEED TO RELY ON IMPORTED VEGETABLES. THE CARIBBEAN IS BLESSED WITH AMPLE SUNSHINE AND WARM TEMPERATURES AND WATER. GOOD FARMLAND HOWEVER IS GETTING SCARCE. HYDROPONIC FARMING CONSERVES WATER AND LAND, IT IS SUSTAINABLE AND PROMOTES FOOD SECURITY.

LET US HELP YOU DEVELOP A HYDROPONIC SYSTEM, RENEW YOUR EXISTING FACILITY, TEACH/TRAIN YOUR STAFF, OR JUST FIX A PROBLEM. WHETHER YOUR HYDROPONIC PROJECT IS A SMALL BACK YARD SYSTEM, A HOTEL OR RESORT, OR EVEN A LARGE COMMERCIAL FACILITY, WE CAN HELP YOU. WE WILL WORK WITHIN YOUR BUDGET SO YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL! 

WE HAVE OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN AGRICULTURE, BACHELOR DEGREES IN HORTICULTURE,  MASTER'S DEGREES IN ENTOMOLOGY AND INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM), AND PLANT PATHOLOGY. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, WE HAVE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE GROWING HYDROPONIC FOOD IN THE CARIBBEAN!  OUR GOAL IS TO HELP YOU GROW HEALTHY, CLEAN FRESH FOOD YEAR ROUND.

Even in the heat of summer, production is fantastic!

Galley Bay Resort and Spa on Antigua have guests raving about the healthy, fresh, greens, cherry tomatoes and micro greens served daily in any of their 3 restaurants. Caribbean Hydroponics helped Galley Bay develop a modest size screen house (1800 sf) that incorporates hydroponic technology to produce up to 1000 heads of lettuce/greens and 50 pounds of cherry tomatoes each week that go directly to their Michelin Chef. A Michelin Chef will only use the finest produce possible to prepare the most delicious salads and sides for their guests.

Are your guests raving about the fresh produce they are paying for? Will they have awesome memories about the meals they had at your restaurant? Let us help you unleash this potential. We use a proven tropical greenhouse design utilizing low technology with passive ventilation which means no high utility bills. This technology utilizes only 10% of the water and land required if grown outdoors. It doesn't take much space (30'x60') to create a steady stream of delicious clean, safe, and nutritious greens, tomatoes, eggplants, micro greens, melons and other crops year around. The size of greenhouse can easily be designed to suit the needs of your chef and the size of your resort.
