Review of Central Texas Specialty Growers by TexasRealFood

In Manor, Central Texas Specialty Growers offers the best specialty lettuces, greens, and herbs. They are a growing sustainable greenhouse farming operation (hydroponics) with farms in Waxahachie and Manor. Also, they do not use pesticides and use less water. It all started when the owner Sean Henry was able to grow an excellent Italian tomato, hydroponically, and without much effort. Upon realizing it, he has produced veggies using the method. Thus, Central Texas Specialty Growers was born. Currently, their specialties include basil, spring mix, superfood (cabbage/greens/mustard mix), baby kale, and various petite lettuces. Buy their harvest in stores under the brand of Franis and Thatcher Farms.

Hydroponics & Aquaponics Hydroponics & Aquaponics

Hydroponics & Aquaponics

Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, which is a method of growing plants without soil, by instead using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Aquaponics refers to any system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics in a symbiotic environment, where the plants benefit from the nutrients produced by the fish excrement. Many have turned to these forms of agriculture as land availability becomes increasingly scarce. Hydroponics is not considered a sustainable form of agriculture, as it continuously requires nutrient inputs, without returning them back into the soil or in another form. Aquaponics is considered to be a more sustainable option, as the fish and plants operate in a symbiotic relationship. Both of these methods require highly regulated variables and usually operate in closed systems.
