AQUAPONICS
Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines a traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, lobster and even mussels in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment.

Why Grow Aquaponic?
• You can save money.• It’s possible to grow year-round.• Plants are healthier in a controlled environment.• Fish live and reproduce happily• Homegrown vegetables & herbs taste better.• Conservation of water
And best of all…
It’s sustainable!
