What we do.
A very simple explanation...
All natural

At our aquaponic farm, we strive to create a natural ecosystem, in which we utilize our fish and the water they live in to supply food to the roots of our plants.

To accomplish this, we slowly grow our fish, by feeding them an all-natural, organic, vegetable-based diet. This food is the only outside product that is added to our ecosystem at any time. No artificial nutrition, chemicals, herbicides, or even pesticides ever enter into the growing process.

Balanced ecosystem

The water in our system is pumped through several natural and organic filters that remove all the solids and the natural occurring nutrients left in the water can now be used to help our vegetables grow.

So with the help of our fishy employees and their food we are able to grow all-natural, reliable, high-quality lettuce and other produce.

Less water

Our aquaponic farming methods use less than 10% of the water used in conventional growing. We grow our Non-GMO crops in a fraction of the time and space it takes to grow when using traditional farming methods.

Locally grown

We avoid long-distance transportation of food by growing fresh products for customers in our community. The big advantage for our customers is a high quality, locally grown, fresh product on their table.

Eat healthy, Live healthy

We strongly believe that eating a healthy diet of fresh produce grown in an all-natural process is good for you. We take pride in providing fresh and tasty produce for our customers who also believe this. These days, buying local food does not only mean you’re just supporting local business, it also means that you’re getting the freshest lettuce and herbs available.

Experience fresh!

Don’t settle for “fresh” lettuce and herbs that have to travel 11 to 14 days from California or Arizona before they reach your plate. Our produce is grown locally in Fort Myers, Florida. We ensure that our customers always get fresh and delicious products every time! Because we grow everything using an all-natural process and we produce all year round!
