WELCOME ELK ISLAND PRODUCE!
Located in Goochland County in Central Virginia, Elk Island Produce is the dream project of owners Tim and Janice Patrick, which they began several years ago on a farm that has been in their family for generations.
In an effort to not only preserve the family farm, but make it useful in supplying the community with healthy locally-sourced, farm-fresh, in-season produce, they began a community garden and urban farm - Elk Island Produce.
Tim has been fascinated by the concept of aeroponics for over 10 years. He was fascinated with it, not just for its effectiveness, but because it yields larger, healthier, tastier produce.
He decided to try the concept at Elk Island and has discovered it is even more productive than the more traditional farming methods.
He has most recently connected with a company from Phoenix, Arizona - True Garden- and will be test-marketing their patented aeroponic Tower Garden within a few weeks.
