About the Farm
Background
Founded by veterans, this micro-farm has grown to encompass a variety of agricultural practices, from dairy production to aquaponics.
Practices
The farm employs a self-sustainable aquaponics system to grow produce and raise fish such as rainbow trout and tilapia. Dairy products come from grain-free Jersey and Holstein cows as well as Alpine goats. The farm avoids commercial feed and chemicals, emphasizing environmentally friendly operations.
The Rest
The farm offers fresh chicken and duck eggs, a variety of meats, and plans to expand its aquaponic system to include saltwater species.
