Full Bloom Market Garden »
216 Long Plain Rd, Whatley, MA
Completed: November 2011
A Real Green HouseFull bloom market garden is a local market on a 150 acre farm with a
system of greenhouses. The market grows and sells organic herbs. How
do you make a greenhouse greener? With a little help from Sandri, it’s
easy!
Prior to the upgrade, the greenhouses were heated with propane. Sandri
installed a pellet boiler system for their primary greenhouse that, in the
future, we hope to tie in with two additional greenhouses. Pellets are stored
in a 36 ton silo and we estimate that full bloom market will use around 350
tons of pellets per year, displace 59,700 gallons of fossil fuels, and will
offset 756,339.3 pounds of CO2.
