Oku Farms…

The Oku Nursery is proud to be growing  Hydroponic Lettuce! 

Grown in insect protected, screened greenhouses (no bugs…no pesticides), the Lettuce is grown atop floating rafts in very large ponds.  The Lettuce takes up only the nutrient that the plant needs with no ground water pollution.  This method uses only 5% of the water of traditional farming, organic or otherwise, and takes up only the nutrients that the plants need and nothing more.  The Oku Nursery is located in a beautiful valley in the small town of Pescadero CA.   

Currently in its 5th generation, the company was originally founded in Mountain View, Ca in 1902 and has been here in Pescadero since 1962. The Oku Family takes great pride in growing the best lettuce possible.  Our greenhouses protect the crop from insects, diseases and other problems that have caused field lettuce to be recalled.
