The Original Organic Greenouse

OriginO™ is different from traditional field and greenhouse growers. Our produce is 100% sustainably grown in living soil with zero chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

Our Story

Organic, through and through

We recognize that what we grow, and the way we grow it, makes a difference to our community and our planet. That’s why we have embraced sustainable practices from day one.

Good intentions alone are not enough. That’s why we have continued to evolve through the years, becoming the first organically-certified greenhouse in 2005, developing unique drainage and irrigation systems, and enriching our soil with the stems and leaves of each generation of plants that we grow.

Our Impact

Grown for future generations

It’s one thing to talk about sustainability, it’s another to embrace organic growing practices and new ways to improve upon them.

From our proprietary soil, to the way we enrich it with prunings from throughout the farm, as well as our accelerated composting system, OriginO organic produce continues to evolve and improve with every passing season.
