Shirley's Greenhouse is a 40,000 square feet greenhouse and 20 acre garden. We grow our produce without the use of pesticides/herbicides using the best quality non-GMO seeds. It is a 36 year old business. Shirley's Greenhouse is a 35 year business. Jo and Pete, the new owners took over the greenhouse in Jan 2024 with the commitment to continue growing the same high quality food that Shirley's is known for. We mix lots of micro-nutrients (like iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium etc) in water and grow plants hydroponically. . We also control the temperature inside the greenhouse using our boiler, fans and automatic roof venting system. We let the vegetables ripen on the vines and do not use sprays for the purpose. Every month we buy good bugs(one of our big expense) to kill the bad bugs so that we don't have to use pesticides on our plants.
