VIRTUAL FARM TOUR

Students explore our farm through an interactive virtual tour of our aquaponics system. As they explore the system, they learn how fish, plants, water, and beneficial bacteria work together to create a thriving ecosystem. Students are introduced to the different species of fish we raise and the vegetables we grow — and discover how each plays an important role in keeping the system balanced.

Beyond the farm itself, students examine how aquaponics offers an innovative solution to real-world challenges. They learn how this method of growing food uses less water, minimizes waste, and can increase access to fresh produce in communities that need it most. This workshop brings together ecology, food systems, and environmental stewardship in a dynamic and accessible way.

FARMING IN WATER (IN-PERSON FARM TOUR)

Learn about the wide variety of plants and aquatic animals that live on the farm and discover how they support one another in a dynamic, symbiotic relationship. During our guided tour, participants are introduced to aquaponics and the many biological components that work together to keep our ecosystem balanced and thriving.

You’ll also get an up-close look at the hardware components that help maintain water quality, circulate nutrients, and support the overall wellbeing of our plants and fish. The tour includes a sensory experience of the farm.

Please dress comfortably for the weather, as part of the tour takes place outdoors. Wear closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, and a hat. We recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated.
