Description and historical use of land available for farming
This property used to be a busy commercial nursery, and is now no longer running, but still has many greenhouse structures in place and available for lease. All greenhouses are on concrete pads, so this is an opportunity for growing on roller benches, or bench table tops could be taken off for pots or containers to be placed on the ground. There are some incandescent grow lights that could be used, and some existing irrigation infrastructure. Water is abundant, with good flow and pressure. Water bills are low with agricultural water rates.
