The Natural Way
BC Hot House produce is hand picked and greenhouse grown.
These nutrient-rich vegetables are grown hydroponically, not in
soil. The growers combine the latest technology with traditional
indoor growing techniques to create the ideal growing environment. The need for pesticides is drastically reduced by using
ladybugs and other “good bugs” to do Mother Nature’s work,
including bumblebees for efficient pollination. BC Hot House
produce is packed with vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting
antioxidants—in a natural way. The result is nutritionally
superior vegetables grown in the great indoors.
