Huge Hydroponic Greenhouse Envisioned In Windham, ME

WINDHAM — Standing next to a wooden stake in this rocky soil, John der Kinderen describes his vision for Sebago Farms.

One of three huge hydroponic greenhouses would stretch 2,000 feet from this spot — a distance longer than two Eiffel Towers laid end to end. There are plans for fish ponds and unique renewable energy elements that will make it extremely efficient.

By 2013, Sebago Farms should be selling hydroponic vegetables and coldwater fish throughout the Northeast.

"Many things are still up in the air," he said last week about the details of the project. Still, he was certain about one thing: "It will happen. There's no question about that."
