Delicious is in the Details: Elevating Your Plate with Waterfields
November 18, 2019

As winter hits the Midwest and the holidays approach, the availability of fresh local produce in states like Ohio dwindles. As freezing temperatures set in, the majority of fruits and vegetables simply have to be imported from the south. However, if you know where to look, you can still find a greenhouse brimming with green amidst even a Midwest blizzard. In fact, no matter if it is scorching hot or blistery cold outside, warm growing conditions are consistent inside the walls of Waterfields, a Cincinnati-based hydroponic greenhouses business. Here, microgreens, herbs and edible flowers are grown year-round. Just last year their facility produced 5.5 tons of microgreens and 175,000 edible flowers. And they are well on their way to surpass these numbers this year. As Chief Marketing & Financial Officer, Daniel Klemens states, โ€œWaterfields leverages indoor hydroponics, greenhouses and even outdoor field growing during the Ohio growing season. We have proprietaries, automation and technology all throughout our operation.โ€
