About Us
It's all about quality. That is the driving force behind everything we do at St. Davids Hydroponics Ltd. While we've been in business since 1985 and have grown to over 70 acres of greenhouses, we still believe in doing things slowly and correctly.
Practices
Because we use a completely closed system, no nutrient solution ever reaches the ground water. We reuse all of it within our greenhouses.
The material we grow in is not your typical plant soil; in fact it’s not soil at all. We use a soil substitute called coconut fibre, and when we’re done with it, our suppliers buy it back from us to put into another use.
With every plant comes biomass, the vines and leaves that are left behind once the plant has reached its life span. Instead of throwing this out we pass it off to local farmers that are able to pull the methane from it using a methane digester, which allows them to generate electricity for their farms.
From capturing rain water to irrigate our plants, to using bees for pollination to collecting the CO2 generated in our greenhouses and feeding it back to our plants, our primary goal is to be as carbon neutral as possible.
