Bob's Veggie Patch

We, at Bob's Veggie Patch, want to welcome you to our site. Our goal is to provide
you with a variety of farm fresh vegetables grown hydroponically.

A brief history about us...

We are proud to have served the Community now for five years!

In February 2004, we decided to take a venture into hydroponic gardening. We
started out small just to see how we liked it. Since then, we have grown in size by
leaps and bounds, and opened our market for business in October 2004. To see
photos, click the "Our Garden" button on the left.

We grow a variety of vegetables hydroponically in various sized containers. In the
first quarter of 2009 we planted another 100 blueberry plants and installed an
automatic watering system for the plants. We are experimenting with a new
insecticide and fungicide, that is made of orange oil, to control the insects and
fungus. This fall we will be using lady bugs and lace wings to control invasive
insects. We continue to find ways and methods to produce high quality vegetables.
We are currently getting ready for the fall planting, which should begin in September
and will be growing over twenty (20) different vegetables.

We also provide a variety of fresh vegetables from local farms, and now carry
fresh milk from Dakin Dairy Farms in Myakka City in Manatee County (we
pickup fresh milk every Tuesday).

Our hours beginning this fall of 2009 are as follows:

Saturday - 9:00am to 5:00pm

and

Sunday - 9:00am to 4:00pm

Call if you need to stop on the way home after 5:00pm.

Thought for the day:

Fresh Vegetables and a Healthy Life go Hand in Hand.
