Meet the Farmers
Cahaba Clubs Herbal Outpost sits nestled on a 10-acre parcel in Odessa, Florida, just northwest of downtown Tampa. Surrounded by large oaks, cypress, and a fish pond, you can hear the birds chirping and the steady hum of the greenhouse fans. Breathe deeply, and you can smell the fresh micro-greens through the air. Marvin, our founder, began his hydroponic growing operation in this serene setting in 1999. Twenty-three years later, our farm is still evolving.
Cahaba Marvin is all about Micros! We sell the freshest hydroponic micro- greens, micro-herbs, micro-vegetables, exotic tiny greens, tiny lettuces, and varieties of pea shoots, pea tendrils, and many different varieties of edible flowers. Our products are harvested daily on a cut-to-order basis and shipped nationwide. Chefs use our products as not only garnish but as a unique and flavorful condiment to their signature dishes.
All of our products are grown using practical hydroponics. There are several benefits to growing hydro-ponically. We use substantially less water than typical growers. All of our products receive nutrient- rich water at the right PH delivered directly to the root via micro-drip irrigation. The water is then recycled through the nutrient tank, tested, and reused to water the plants.
In addition, hydroponic farming yields 10-20 times more product per acre than field production. We are also able to grow superior products year-round in environmentally controlled greenhouses, protecting the greens from outside elements (see Farm Stats). This does not include all of the acres of edible landscaping: peaches, pears, cottoncandy trees, black- berries, blueberries, citrus, passion fruit, dragon fruit, pineapple guava, pineapple, and more. In total, Cahaba has over 100,000 square feet of hydroponic grow areas and greenhouses. Our average year-round production totals 2.5 million in sales. All of these steps contribute to making Cahaba Clubs products exceptional in quality, taste, and shelf life!
