An inside look at Red Sun's greenhouses
Greenhouse-grown fruits and vegetables are nurtured inside under protective glass or polymer barriers. Red Sun uses non-GMO seeds and natural pest management methods, such as specialized wasps, lady bugs and skim milk for their pepper plants.
It also means they can use less resources. Many of their plants are grown hydroponically, or without the use of conventional soil. This growing technique lessens the strain on natural resources by using up to 95% less water per pound of yield than field crops of the same type. It also allows them to use vertical space – sometimes growing their plants to ten feet or higher, with yields 15 times greater per acre.
