LET’S TALK ABOUT FISHES!

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 2023 (2:30PM)

Every schoolkid can identify a fish, but do you know what, or who, fishes really are?  Join us for an afternoon event to learn the true story about fishes--the role they play in ecosystems, aquaponics, and even our own evolutionary history.  You will also get the chance to tour the farm and meet some of the resident fishes who call Oko Farms home.
