Village Farms Tomato, Pepper, and Cucumber varieties are not only bred for their great tasting sweet juicy flavor, but for a number of unique attributes making them suitable for hydroponic greenhouse production. Indoor gardening has its advantages and so the seed we use to grow our plants is well suited to their environment bred to achieve the perfect bruise free vine ripened goodness you have some to expect from Village Farms. Some of the advantages our proprietary hydroponic greenhouse varieties have for retailers and consumers alike are the following;

• longer shelf life
• great tasting sweet juicy flavor
• firm shape
• higher yields – we have double the yield compared to other varieties
• longer growing season
• energy efficiency – using less water to grow our fruit
• disease tolerance
• labor friendliness – easier to harvest by hand and thus less labor intensive
• stronger root stock
• adapting to variations in temperature
