Making a small greenhouse operation profitable

摘要

The welcome you get as you enter one of the greenhouses at Vine Ripe Farms is the warmest kind — the kind you'd expect when you arrive home after a long absence. With a warm smile and beckoning gesture, Rocio Agraz brings you into the place of her daily work as if welcoming an old friend to a favorite gathering spot. Tour Vine Ripe Farms, and it is soon apparent that this is more than just a job for Rocio. She works with her husband, Agustin, who also holds a full-time job. This is an important part of her daily life of nurturing the crops and harvesting produce to sell to Central California fresh tomato connoisseurs.
