Grateful Greens Update

by Tom Alexander on March 29, 2009 · 1 comment

xlOver the past 20 years, The Growing Edge reported on many successful small scale hydroponic growers. I will be posting updates on them when news warrants it.
Grateful Greens announces an expansion of its operations into a neighboring town.
Greg Graft is a former chef who’s turned his love of food and interest in growing into a hydroponic greenhouse business in the center of Louisville, Kentucky. Grateful Greens was first reported in The Growing Edge, Volume 17, Number 4, March/April 2006.
Now Graft is announcing an expansion of his hydroponic greenhouse operation to Clarksville.
Grateful Greens — which sells locally grown produce to local area restaurants and grocery stores, will increase the number of restaurants and stores that carry the Grateful Greens brand of produce with the expansion. Currently, about 450 plants a day are harvested and distributed to about 40 high-end Greater Louisville restaurants and stores.

That’s awesome. I always love a success story.

My local Wal-Mart sells a brand of hydro lettuce from Kentucky. I will have to check the brand name next time I am there.
