New York Hydroponic Tomato Farm

Sometimes a great idea comes from a chance encounter. Carole Crimivaroli and her husband George were looking to buy a larger home with some acreage. The house they found in New York's Hudson Valley came with a greenhouse, and the family decided to begin raising hydroponically grown tomatoes.

This is great ! I live a cross the river in poughkeepsie, do you sell year round? I can't wait to come over.

... how do you heat the tomato greenhouse in january - when it's below freezing outside - is it still economically viable ? ...

Indeed an inspiring video. I would like to start something like that too, from small on a shoestring budget and grow like these people. Amazing!

This is a truly very inspiring video. Who would have thought that a regular family like the Crimivaroli’s can create such a huge impact in their community? I agree that local farmers like Carole and George should be given great support because they produce crops that are totally healthy and fresh. I am really awed on how wonderful all their crops are. More success to your business!
