Controlled-Environment Growing · Southern Vermont
Greenhouse &
Specialty Crops
Vermont's short growing season doesn't limit what we can produce. Our greenhouse extends the season, maintains quality, and allows us to grow crops that wouldn't survive outdoors.
Our Growing Infrastructure
Precision Growing, Vermont-Rooted
Controlled-environment growing is central to how Roots & Spores operates. Our greenhouse infrastructure allows us to maintain consistent quality, manage light and temperature, and grow crops — including ginger, turmeric, and microgreens — that require more than Vermont's outdoor season can reliably provide.
We grow for culinary relevance and freshness. Microgreens are cut-to-order. Specialty crops are harvested at peak maturity and handled to preserve quality through delivery.
Our greenhouse also serves as a propagation hub — allowing us to develop new varieties, extend our growing calendar, and supply starts for open-ground production.
