So, What Is Aquaponics?
It’s a Natural Ecosystem
Welcome to Aquaponics
Aquaponics is where fish and plants live in symbiosis – each one helps the other thrive! The fish create near perfect nutrient conditions for plants to grow without soil, and in turn, the plants filter and clean the water and it is returned to the fish tanks. There is next to no loss and any by-products from this loop are beneficial to other growing processes.
About Us
What happens when you cross a curious teen agriculturist with her seasoned businessman father? A clean, green, high yield machine!
Purpose over Profits – Aquaponics is an ideal solution to improve food insecurities, while minimizing waste and reducing space and resource needs. Aquaponic systems use a fraction of the water to grow 10 times the amount of produce in the same amount of space as compared to traditional farming methods. It’s efficient and self-sustaining and doesn’t rely on manufactured fertilizers or require harmful chemical upkeep and pest control. It is climate adaptive and isn’t dependent on local air or soil conditions.
