About this episode
Dr. Russell Sharp discusses e-commerce strategies for hydroponic businesses, advising against competing in commodity leafy greens and recommending niche, high‑value preserved products like freeze‑dried herbs, pickles, and gourmet fermented goods. He outlines marketing channels (social ads, trade shows, brand storytelling), logistics considerations (cold chain vs preserved goods), alternatives like ornamentals and cut flowers, and cautions about high costs and platform pitfalls such as selling on Amazon. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/ Greens For Good OnlyHydroponics Max Green Farms Gabbar Farms LEAFY (Leafy Scot) Oasis Hydroponics Sunway XFarms Vexotics Dizon Farms Delivers Biogrove Foodstories Kaze Living ElaGreens GetBlok Farms Greens For Good OnlyHydroponics Sunden Farms Urban Greens Revol Greens Vertical Roots Village Farms International Oishii Soli Organic Square Roots Grow Vertical Harvest Smallhold Fischer Farms Market 114 Sustainable Farm by Custom Cuisine Lettuce Grow Plenty Farm Fresh to You Live Greens Local Greens Farm Urban Sprouts Farm FreshBox Farms Green Spirit Farms Eden Green Farms Green Sense Farms LightHouse Farms Iron Ox Farms Bowery Urban Growers Goodleaf Farms Farm One VertiCrop Fresh Origins Sundrop Farms BrightFarms Hollandia Produce / Pete’s Living Greens Mae Farms CropOne Holdings City Farm Co Pure Greens Growers National Greens Eden Organic Greens HydroFarm Produce Co Blue River Farms NuLeaf Farms Urban Leaf Growers FreshField Farms Terra Greens HydroHarvest GreenLeaf Vertical Farms
