What is Aquaponic Farming?
Aquaponic farming combines fish farming and a hydroponic growing system into one extremely efficient and clean facility. Fish waste in the form of Ammonia is converted by naturally occurring bacteria into nitrates which are used by plants as nutrients cleansing the water for recirculation back to the fish.
Please join us for a tour! Tours include a guided walkthrough of the farm from a founder or the greenhouse manager.
