Green Industries Site

Green Industries Institute is located on Hwy 90 just three miles west of the Monticello Courthouse in beautiful rural Jefferson County, Florida. The sixty-four  acre GII site has 40-year-old pecan groves, 3000 square feet of green houses, and 25 acres of mixed hardwood hammock forest land.

Also located on site is the Green Industries Teaching Farm, a half acre diversified vegetable production site. We use chemical-free, sustainable cultivation methods to grow annual vegetables, including heirloom varieties. We use greenhouse space to start our own transplants in soil blocks for the farm. Our produce is sold at the NFCC Green Marketand the Sentinel Café, both located in Madison, FL on the NFCC campus.
