These insects work all day and all night to keep the pests from destroying your food. While we may only have a handful of human workers here at RhibaFarms, we have thousands of insect ones. The Praying Mantis is one of our hardest workers in the greenhouse and we recently welcomed in hundreds of new inspect employees.

Harold Lindsey(bottom picture, on the right) is one of our farmers.  He is the one in the greenhouse making sure all your food is growing and looking good.  With years of experience in growing all types of plants, Harold is a key component in the RhibaFarms machine.  While Harold is greatly experienced in traditional farming, he is also an expert in hydroponics and will be key in our upcoming hydro project.  Harold is also often found Saturday at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market, so if you have any growing questions feel free to come down and chat with him.

Jose Ibanez(left) also a farmer in the greenhouse is the father of RhibaFarms c0-owner Marlo Ibanez.  Jose is usually busy planting, watering, germinating seeds, and anything else you could think of when it comes to greenhouse growing.  He is too busy taking care of our produce to make it out to the markets, but all his hard work pays off when you taste our wheatgrass and shoots.

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.
