Bently Mills Hydroponics business’ are growing

September 2, 2008

Bently mills hydroponics farmer Bently Mills would not be where he is today were it not for the help and support of his parents and wife, Kelly. “I would have failed a long time ago without each one of their support,” he said.

Bently runs several hydroponics operations. “At BJ’s, we produce food safely without the use of harmful pesticides and herbicides; we conserve water and have a very low impact on the environment,” he said. “We can produce on 1 acre what would take a conventional farm 20 acres.”

Mills started out growing tomatoes after his father’s teaching as a professor at University of Georgia sparked his interest. He currently has switched one shop, BJ’s produce to growing lettuce, basil and cilantro. The other, Flora Hydroponics is currently assisting UGA researchers in studying how algae can produce fuel.
