Batavia Lettuce

Butterhead

Romaine

Romaine or cos lettuce is a variety of lettuce that grows in a tall head of sturdy dark green leaves with firm ribs down their centers. Unlike most lettuces, it is tolerant to heat.

Crunchy Lettuce

Crunchy lettuce, the premium sweet lettuce with a bite, is available from baby to Large Crunchy. This lettuce can be used for multiple purposes. Besides being a very juicy, sweet tasty lettuce ingredient for salads, the lettuce spoons are as attractive as Snack and Wrap Lettuce.

Crystal Lettuce

Crystal lettuce is a frilly open lettuce type with an iceberg bite. With a sweet, crunchy taste, Crystal lettuces have a high leaf count of robust leaves, with a light blister and a frilled margin. In internal testing, Crystal lettuce has consistently performed well in taste tests and processability.

Gem Lettuce

Iceberg

Iceberg is a head lettuce, meaning it grows in a ball rather than leafy form, and it is known for its comparatively small, densely packed heads. The outer leaves are bright green, while the inner leaves and heart are light green to yellow and sometimes even white.

Lollo Bionda

Lollo Bionda (pale green) and Lollo Rosso (red) refer to types of fancy lettuce with tight curly leaves, otherwise known as coral lettuce. The leaves are produced loosely in a whole head, are tender in taste, with a slight bitterness

Lactuca Sativa

Lettuce. Lactuca sativa ‘Lollo Rosso’ is classic Italian lettuce with dark copper red, crinkled frilly leaves. It makes a colorful addition to summer salads and has a refreshing taste.

Oak Leaf Lettuce

Oak Leaf lettuce is a type of lettuce with deeply lobed leaves that look like an oak tree’s leaves. The leaves are often harvested as young as baby lettuce leaves, but the plants can also mature into full-sized open heads of lettuce.

Salanova Green Butter

Salanova Green Butter Lettuce is a type of Bibb Lettuce. Heads have a round base with loose leaves. Delicate, buttery flavor. Great as a whole head or in salad mix.

Dense Rosette

Tomato

A beef or beefsteak tomato is one of the largest cultivated tomatoes, some weighing 450 grams or more. Most are pink or red, with numerous small seed compartments distributed throughout the fruit, sometimes displaying pronounced ribbing similar to ancient pre-Columbian tomato cultivars.

Bell Pepper

The bell pepper (also known as sweet pepper, pepper, or capsicum )) is the fruit of plants in the Grossum cultivar group of Capsicum annum. Cultivars of the plant produce fruits in different colors, including red, yellow, orange, green, white, and purple.

Cucumbers

Cucumbers are creeping vine that roots in the ground and climbs up trellises or other supports, wrapping thin, twisting tendrils around them. The plant can also root in a soilless medium, and instead of a supporting framework, it will sprawl along the ground. Large leaves provide a canopy above the fruits on the vine.

Watermelon

Watermelon is a flowering plant species of the Cucurbitaceae family, and the name of its edible fruit. A scrambling and trailing vine-like plant, it is a highly cultivated fruit worldwide, with more than 1,000 varieties.

Melon

A melon is any of various plants of the family Cucurbitaceae with sweet, edible, and fleshy fruit. The word “melon” can refer to the plant or, specifically, to the fruit. Botanically, a melon is a berry, specifically a “pepo.”

Some of the key features of our produce are as follows:

Locally-Grown

Dushi Farms produces only locally-grown vegetables. We use a hybrid CEA system to grow and cultivate different vegetables and fruits that people are often unable to find on the market. In Curacao and the Caribbean, most people are forced to purchase imported food products, and it is primarily because they do not have any other choice.

Since local produce is not even available, they have no other choice but to purchase these imported food products. However, we make sure that local produce is available to people that are grown in Curacao. It means that all the negative factors that are related to long supply chains are eliminated and addressed in an effective manner.

Fresh and Healthy

One of the key features of our local vegetables and fruits is they are fresh and healthy. For starters, they are produced under local conditions, and as soon as they are cultivated, they are made available in the market. It means that you can purchase fresh food items from the market. Since there is a lack of a long supply chain, you can enjoy fresh and healthy food easily without experiencing any problems.

Factors such as long distance, storage, and unsustainable packaging can deteriorate the quality of food items and expose them to contamination. It means that they can adversely influence your health and expose you to serious illnesses and diseases. Therefore, it is essential to consume fresh and healthy food. Dushi Farms produces local fruits and vegetables and ensures you can access the fresh food you need. We focus specifically on the storage and packaging of our produce to ensure they are not contaminated.

Moreover, the lack of a long supply chain ensures the freshness of our vegetables and fruits.

Tasty and Nutritious

Since imported food items are produced and cultivated until foreign conditions, they are often not suited to our taste. However, people do not have any other choice, and they are required to purchase it nonetheless. Not to mention, there is no knowing whether these imported food products and items are even nutritious. However, the same cannot be said when it comes to our local produce.

Under controlled conditions, we produce vegetables that are not only tasty but also nutritious. At our technologically-advanced farm, we track the quality and nutrition of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, we make sure to produce only those food items and products that are genuinely beneficial and suitable for your health. You can rely on us to produce vegetables and fruits cultivated in local conditions and lack pesticides. All of these factors tend to adversely influence both the taste and the nutrition of fruits and vegetables.

In our sophisticated CEA systems, we consistently track our produce’s health, taste, and nutrition. It helps us in ensuring that your needs can be met in an effective manner.

Affordable

Typically, imported food items are costly. Whether they are vegetables or fruits, imported products are bound to be more expensive than local food items. It is primarily due to several reasons. First of all, they are grown under foreign conditions, and since they are imported, they are often imported at a high price. Second, they are subject to a specific tariff that is imposed by that specific country. Third, there are transportation costs. For instance, once the produce has been bought, it must be transported back to the country.

In most island countries, including Curacao and the Caribbean, most food is imported from other countries. Therefore, it is quite expensive, and many people are forced to purchase this costly food. Even though most people cannot afford it, they do not have any other choice, which disturbs their budget. Dushi Farms produces food items and products locally. Since fruits and vegetables are grown locally, they are not subject to higher costs, tariffs, and even transportation costs. We can provide you with locally-grown tasty vegetables and fruits at the affordable prices you prefer.

With locally-grown produce, you have a much-needed choice. For instance, with imported products, you have no other choice but to purchase them. However, with our vegetables and fruits, you have the choice to purchase the food products that you truly prefer and need. Now, there is no need for you to spend the extra money and waste your resources on imported food items and products when you can just consume locally-grown products.
