Kitayama Bros. Asks, What About Water?
May 16, 2014 | 1 min to read
Over the past year when we give a tour at KB Farms, the first question we are asked is, “what about water?” You can’t open the paper without an article about the California drought and the future of water in the state. Flower growers like the rest of agriculture depends on water, therefore, we are very concerned about its quality and quantity now and in the future. We are taking major steps to reduce our water usage without compromising quality.

Kitayama Brothers instituted the most basic method of water savings over 15 years ago when we converted all our crops to drip irrigation away from sprinklers or nozzle spray irrigation.
This year Kitayama Brothers completed our gerbera water recycling system.
