Subscribe to our blog.For the past five weeks we have been going to the Market on Mill in downtown Tempe. This new market is every Thursday and runs from 5 pm to 9 pm. Come on out this week to see us and our fresh shoots and grass. Mention this blog post and get two shoots for the price of one. The Market on Mill has food vendors as well as artisan crafts and goods. Find out more about the Market on Mill at http://marketonmill.org/
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.
Suzie Nelson is our sales representative. She is in charge of taking your orders and making sure all your wheatgrass needs are taken care of. Plus she spends her Saturdays out at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market, selling and educating people about wheatgrass and shoots. If you buy food from us, you most likely know Suzie. If you have any questions or want to make orders, just shoot her an email at s.nelson@rhibafarms.com
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.
