Looking for a property with the potential for 3D farming? Do you like the idea of developing sustainable and innovative methods for growing crops throughout the year. At this Rapaura Road property, rich soils and hydroponics support a seasonal assortment of fruit and vegetable crops that include salad greens, alliums, melon varieties, tomatoes, chillies, legumes, and a vast assortment from the gourd family. An intensive, summer cropping programme includes approx. 30,000 hydroponic/NFT strawberry plants in twin-skinned plastic tunnel houses with an annual harvest period of seven months. As summer fare finishes the winter growing programme commences. Golden Mile Produce sells from their popular on-site outlet and supplies fresh and nutritious edibles throughout the Marlborough region plus enjoys a long-standing footprint with the Marlborough Farmers Market. Modern packing and cooling facilities are spacious and there is potential to work in with other seasonal producers.
