The best tomatoes in town

admin — Fri, 21 May 2010 21:51:02 +0000

Our Heirloom Brandywine tomatoes plants are going at full steam right now producing delicious nutrient dense tomatoes. Make sure you get to the Downtown Phoenix Public Market early to get your hands on these lovelies. If you can’t make it out to the market, we will have tomatoes available on Thursday and Friday at our Chandler greenhouse. If you would like to pick up tomatoes on Thursday or Friday, make sure you call us at 480-632-0272 before Thursday to reserve some.

Rhibafarms Aquaponics

Here is a peak of the new tanks for our aquaponics system. We had them custom built by Proplastic Technology, a local Chandler company. We will be giving more updates as the system starts to come together!

Shown above is the massively huge and massively heavy rearing tank. Soon to be chock full of swimming fish. This thing took some strategic planning to move.

Project Shinae

Meet Shinae, she is a big fan of our Broccoli shoots. Unfortunately, the summer heat has made Broccoli growing very difficult and has been disappointing for Shinae when she comes to visit us on Saturdays at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market. What we have decided to do for Shinae is grow her Broccoli shoots in our new hydroponics lab. We will be using the hydroponics lab as our R&D growing area for new or difficult crops. If you have any suggestions for things we should try growing, send them over to info@rhibafarms.com. We will keep you updated on Project Shinae here on the blog.

Here comes the heat

As you may know RhibaFarms is located in Chandler Arizona, right in the Phoenix heat island. Growing in the summer time requires jumping though some hurdles and experimenting.

The good news is that with the shade screens on, our greenhouse is growing like a champ. In addition to the greenhouse, we are doing some outside growing experiments with peppers, squash, tomatoes, green-beans, garbanzo, cucumber, watermelon and cantaloupe. We built a couple of planter boxes out behind the greenhouse to grow these new crops. Be sure to drop in on us at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market to see our new crops start showing up.
