New Entrant Hydroponics and Aeroponics Enterprise, Devon / Cornwall / Dorset
Meet Rachel and Glenn, marketing specialist and construction engineer, they having been experimenting in their growing space at home and are looking for more land to take the next step to establish their horticulture business. Using hydroponic and aeroponic techniques, they also hope to extend the growing season by utilising geothermal heat by submerging greenhouses beneath soil level. They aim to produce high value crops year round with minimal impact, focusing on sustainability throughout their growing process and producing cut flowers, fruit and veg for local farmers markets, restaurants, cafes and garden centres. They are keen to provide an educational experience once they are established and are interested in running a pick your own offer eventually.
Rachel and Glenn are looking for over 4 acres but could start on a smaller scale with the possibility to expand as they develop. The land must be high enough above the water table to allow for them to dig down to create geothermal greenhouses. They intend to use solar PV panels to provide energy so would prefer south facing land. They would also need a water supply and good access.
This opportunity would suit a land owner who is interested in experimental growing techniques and who is keen to support a start up on their land.
