Title A name given to the resource Aerial View of Intergrow Greenhouses Description An account of the resource As of 2021, Intergrow Greenhouses operated at three locations in Western New York: Fillmore, Albion, and Ontario. Together, they constitute nearly 105 acres of hydroponic production, or more than 4.5 million square feet. According to the trade publication Greenhouse Grower, this made them the fifth-largest US company in terms of total acreage (Wright). In May of 2023, the company was acquired by Canadian competitor Mastronardi Produce. To appreciate the scale of modern greenhouses, three satellite images survey Intergrow's operations.

Title A name given to the resource Greenhouse Vocabulary Words Description An account of the resource The Geneseo Migrant Center (GMC) reached out to farmworkers at many locations and different types of operations: potato harvesting, tomato picking, fruit orchards, dairies. A relatively new type of agricultural operation was year-round greenhouses. The large Intergrow greenhouse was constructed near Fillmore, NY to grow tomatoes year-round, and employed primarily Spanish-speaking migrant workers. In response to this situation, the GMC created "flashcards" for staff members and artists interacting with the Intergrow workers. It was a matter of understanding the specifics of their unique work from a position of mutual respect. The process was described like this: "1. Make full list work words/phrases; 2. Sort and label work photos; 3. Type up & make flashcards from photos." It appears that Director Sylvia Kelly spoke with migrant workers; poet Janine Pommy Vega then translated names associated with their labor--terms like "pallet jacks" (gato de paleta) and "string line" (cuerda de linea). The three-page pdf document here captures the process of identifying a working vocabulary; <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1900" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the OpenValley item here</a> gathers photographs taken of those greenhouse terms. The greenhouse still is in operation, now called Sungrow.

The operation was sited in Fillmore, NY for its proximity to the coal-fired Allegany Power Plant. and employed primarily Spanish-speaking migrant workers. The Geneseo Migrant Center (GMC) began outreach to Intergrow workers by 2001 and soon recognized that their agricultural "world" was in some ways quite different from field workers at traditional farms. In order for staff and artists to better communicate, GMC Director Sylvia Kelly visited the Intergrow greenhouse and learned some of its distinct vocabulary: "pallet jacks" (gato de paleta) and "string line" (cuerda de linea). <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1899" target="_blank" rel="noopener">See her notes here.</a> The photographs shown above were taken to create flashcards corresponding to some of Intergrow's daily work: <ol> <li>Tomato plants attached to wires (cable/alambre)</li> <li>Tomatoes growing in a cart (carro) in clusters (racimos)</li> <li>A scraper, wrapped around worker's finger</li> <li>Stickers (etiquetas)</li> <li>Stacks of boxes (cajas)</li> <li>A pallet jack (gato de paleta)</li> <li>A bee box</li> <li>Bags (volsas)</li> <li>Forklift (montecargas)</li> <li>A topworker on a picker's cart</li> </ol> Work Consulted: Mary Stone, "Made in the FLX: Intergrow Greenhouses Grows and Grows," Edible Finger Lakes 30 Mar. 2021. <a href="https://www.ediblefingerlakes.com/2021/03/30/made-in-the-flx-intergrow-greenhouses-grows-and-grows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Link here</a> Type The nature or genre of the resource Still images Creative Artists Migrant Program Services Geneseo Migrant Center Greenhouse Intergrow Tomatoes https://openvalley.org/files/original/e17844cac90f18aaa41a581f3e674802.pdf aba743ae41dfd3a3e38a8ef3728dc4f8 Still Image A static visual representation.
