Hey y'all, are you enjoying the cooler weather?!  We will be closing early on Tuesday, September 23rd at 4 pm, due to an off site company event.  

Here's a taste of fall color to get you excited! Several trees in the nursery are starting to turn colors!




If we don't see you by 4 pm next Tuesday we'll see you bright and early on Wednesday the 24rd at 7 am! 

Enjoy your weekend!!

Welcome to Ranchito! (Our growing facility)

Did you know that we had a growing facility down the road from our store?  Well, if you didn't we're going to shed some light on it today!  The last couple years we have been working hard at expanding the space we have by adding production beds and hoop houses.  Below are some examples of the construction that has been happening!

The three original hoop houses contructed in late summer of 2013

 The process of contructing a hoop house: 









Weed mat is laid down first before they insert stakes, then the irrigation is set up on the bed.

Hoop House frames ready to be assembled.
Hoop House frames all assembled.








 In order to stablize the frames, end walls are installed.  Which also prove to be beneficial during the winter to protect the plant material.






Shade clothes used to protect the more sun sensitive plant material.
New construction underway for this fall, as we plan to build three new hoop houses and beds. 








Don't forget we carry Phat Kat Topsoil and compost in bulk!

This is where it all happens in Ranchito, our growing facility.
