By using organic growing practices, energy-efficient greenhouse heating systems and recycled plastic containers, Mark Elzinga and his Elzinga & Hoeksema Greenhouses are producing high-quality vegetables and bedding plants, while being environmentallyresponsible. Mark Elzinga knows all about working his way up the ladder of a family business. As a teenager, Elzinga helped out in the greenhouse at Elzinga & Hoeksema Greenhouses, Portage, MI, which was founded by his father, Jake Elzinga, and Jake's business partner, Ed Hoeksema, in 1962. At the same time, Mark also gained valuable business experience overseeing his family's fruit market, Centre Street Market, Portage, which he still owns and operates today.
