Support Our Work!
Since 2013 Oko Farms has been using aquaponics farming and education to build New Yorkers’ resilience through connection to each other and the natural environment. We believe in the power of adapting ancient and indigenous farming systems and ecosystem thinking to urban environments, where thriving communities form around sustainably growing food for the wellbeing of all human and non-human residents.
