The result of this combination of technologies – and this something-for-nothing approach – is that tomatoes and capsicums are being grown blemish- free and without many of the herbicides and pesticides required in traditional field farming.
This latter point is a natural benefit of the isolation
of Sundrop Farms’ operation, far removed from the traditional tomato-growing regions of Victoria’s Riverina.
The controlled environment of the greenhouse also allows for fertiliser to be better targeted than it would in the field, resulting, according to Sundrop Farms, in a more consistent crop.
