John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com takes another field trip out to a local commercial farm in Las Vegas to see what is being grown commercially. It's smart to learn from other farmers in your area on how and what they are growing and doing. In this eposide, learn what is being grown at this commercial farm in the desert.

Thanks for your videos, I didn't know all these fruits and vegetables could be grown here in Vegas, had some a couple yrs ago and didn't grow, but now I have an idea of what to grow and will start on it soon . It would be nice to know were this is located.

While I wish EVERY FARM was ORGANIC, and grows naturally... Its my understanding when I have asked Gilcrease, they are not organic. Luckily in the desert, its an extreme enviorment, and there are not many bugs. I believe their spraying is minimal and they use conventional fertilizer. This is not optimal, but take it or leave it.. Its the best "working" farm that Las Vegas has. I have not had any adverse reactions to eating their produce, which means to me, minimal (or no) pesticide residues..

Nice to see growing in the desert. Allot of hybrids though. John you did not mention how they grow there produce. With or without harmful pesticides. Thanks
