In 1995, with the encouragement of a major UK supermarket for a third supply source for watercress, Watercress Farms Inc. purchased a 500 acre farm in Florida, USA. The initial development included watercress beds and packing and cooling facilities. Situated inland from the Gulf Coast of Florida, Myakka City has the perfect environment for growing watercress. It's cooling coastal winds guarantee that temperatures are kept low, which suits the growth of this aquatic plant; seasonal production can exceed 1 million lbs. WFI totals 500 acres, including 200 acres of nature reserve and an expanding area of watercress beds. The farm is fed by pure borehole water ensuring that the quality of the water supply is regulated and assured.
