As a recap from last year, our hydroponic strawberry operation was a huge success. We learned a lot about PH, nutritional needs, fruiting cycles, and so much more. In 2024, we will continue growing more strawberry plants hydroponically. Check back with us near July to get some fruit at the farmer’s market or at our plant sale, we will have strawberry plants available for you to grow.
This year’s big update is : Land Expansion.
Last Fall, another half acre of land was cleared out at our property in Steamboat Springs, CO. We are excited to be increasing our production of greens, rhubarb, and Routt county garlic. Opening new land can require a lot of work but its rewards can be so sweet. Experimenting and learning new ways to grow plants is a huge part of who we are.
“Their greens, flowers and herbs are becoming so popular with restaurants, florists and the farmers market, Badertscher is building a huge hydroponics system that will allow them to grow (many) more plants they can tend” - Steamboat Pilot, 2019
