You will have a big competitive advantage

    Local greenhouse growers can deliver fresh vegetables to the store "within hours of being picked" year-round. Big growers will never be able to do that. This gives growers like you a huge advantage over large growers who must ship from a distance!

    There are a few large greenhouse complexes, but they are struggling with the quality control problems any large business has. High cost of labor. High overhead. High transportation costs. And the problem of shipping a perishable product over long distances. (A grocery chain in Columbus, Ohio recently quit purchasing hydroponic tomatoes from a large corporate greenhouse facility because of the poor quality.)

    The small grower can avoid these problems! So, the demand is great. The market is wide open. The opportunity is here, now!

And it is such an enjoyable business!

    Let s face it; if you re going to get into a business, it has to make a profit. But you should also get into one that you will enjoy! Greenhouse farming fits both!

• You'll farm year-round with much greater control and predictability.
• Your crop is protected against adverse weather conditions.
• Cash flow will be more dependable. You'll sleep better at night.
• During the day you'll work in short-sleeves - even when it s snowing outside - among green, lush plants in a spring-like atmosphere.
• You'll work at home, be your own boss, and build your own business.
• You can do it part-time or full-time.
• You can start with one greenhouse and then add more later on for more profits.
• You'll market a quality product you feel good about, and that people love.
• You'll build a great reputation in the local community.
• And you'll have help and support from CropKing every step of the way.

    Not bad!

"In spite of having limited knowledge in the beginning, we ve played it by the "book" (CropKing's Grower's Manual) and experienced genuine success. Best of all, we spend the cold Iowa winter in short-sleeves at 72 degrees...I can think of absolutely no way that I would sooner spend retirement and, best of all, there s still time for golf!"
- Dick, Iowa

    Right now you probably have some questions. What if I don t know anything about greenhouse farming? How would I get started? What if I made some big mistakes? How could I be sure that I could make it work and make it profitable?

    Good questions. Fortunately for you, at CropKing we've already thought about these questions and we have some answers for you.
