Organic-Hydroponic Lettuce and Herbs,
Hamden, Connecticut

Nelson and Pade, Inc. oversaw the construction of the first two greenhouse bays and the wheat grass house.  The initial two bays cover 44’ x 128’ and plans are in place for four additional bays.  The owner has been growing herbs and fancy lettuce in a small system for years and has his techniques down and marketing in place.  The new greenhouse is located on a four acre parcel that at one time was farm land but has since been urbanized.  Also on the 4 acres is the original 200+ year old farm home.  The owner will offer his fresh fancy lettuce, herbs, micro greens and wheat grass at an onsite farm stand as well as local food markets and farmer's markets.  This project is essentially turning the property back to its roots...agriculture, but with high tech methods...hydroponics.
