Step inside a living system where fish, plants, and water work in perfect harmony. In this introductory workshop at Oko Farms, you’ll explore aquaponics as both ancient practice and modern urban tool. Together, we’ll trace its Indigenous roots, unpack the science behind recirculating ecosystems, and see firsthand how food can be grown through relationship rather than extraction.
Participants will tour the farm, learn how fish and plants support one another, and get their hands involved in the fundamentals of propagation, fish selection, and system design. You’ll leave with a working understanding of how aquaponics functions and why it matters, along with tea brewed from Oko Farms’ own harvest.
