$15 Million Greenhouse Project Promises Food, Jobs For Central Florida
Florida-based Gaballi LLC has initiated the sale of the largest greenhouse farm in Florida. Gaballi is planning to plant an assortment of fruits and vegetables on the greenhouse property in Groveland, which was recently purchased by OrganicaWorld LLC. The two sister companies will work together to streamline the farming process and cost of food from farm to table.
Due to Gaballi’s distribution structure, the public will be able to buy all the goods grown in the greenhouses and the open acreage on the property through their local churches and non-profit organizations for below retail price. Customers can order online and have the food delivered to a host site in their community.
OrganicaWorld will oversee the entire farming process. They also have plans to build a large IQF (individually quick frozen) plant on the Groveland property in 2013 to flash freeze the fresh produce, as well as a canning plant. This first stage of the $15 million farming initiative is set to bring more than 100 new jobs to Central Florida.
Future plans for OrganicaWorld include the acquisition and management of other agricultural properties, including large crop land and cattle farms.
