An Organic Farmers Market In Relation To Hothouses

By Robert Sutter


Hothouses are, in general, some of the better structures that can be made if bringing crops to the surface is the name of the game. They are utilized to grow plants and the like during seasons which might not be most feasible to them. These crops can then be brought to a number of different locations, whether you're talking about an organic farmers market or what have you. With this in mind, one state in particular has taken this idea and gone a tremendous distance with it.

Pensacola News Journal posted an article about hothouses, which have started to appear along the Alabama Black Belt area. The company behind this movement goes by the name of Southern Fresh Produce, which will be able to cultivate organic crops through said hothouses. The food that is grown, at that point, can then be given to any organic farmers market, restaurant, or any other establishment that can bring them in. To say the story deserves the attention of such authorities as Colle would be an understatement.

From what the article went into detail about, the organic produce in Alabama comes from California and Texas. While this may be seen as a good thing, it doesn't exactly bode well for Alabama's economy, which is where these hothouses come into play. With these structures put together, they have the potential to not only grant unemployed individuals jobs of their own but lower the amount of poverty in the area. This is an idea that's not only effective from an agriculture standpoint but from a general standpoint as well.

There's a higher level of progression to talk about with these hothouses as well, which is a point that the public across the board should be mindful of. As it stands, a single acre of hothouses can produce the same amount of organic crops as ten acres of plowed fields. It goes to show just how great technology can be if it is applied for the right causes. If you ask me, the act of bringing about some of the best crops to the surface is one of the best causes to consider.

Hothouses can prove to be useful for a number of establishments, every organic farmers market included. The level of production done by these structures is amazing, as can be expected, but the fact that they can grant people who require jobs a place to work is just as stellar. Hopefully more areas outside of Alabama put a similar idea to use, provided the conditions are feasible. If this is the case, though, I have to believe that organics will have that much greater of a presence.
