One Fish, Two Fish

People were wondering about the fish gadget we have over to the right. Aside from being visually pretty, the swimming fish represent one of our main areas of interest: Aquaponics. So much of today's fish farming is bad for the fish, the farm, and the environment. Our goal is to have sustainable, healthy, delicious fish and we plan to do this through Aquaponics, blending hydroponics and aquaculture. Our goal is to have the most modern, efficient, and sustainable technology in our aquaponics systems and then teach those skills to tomorrow's farmers.

We got our two beginning fish for our mini-aquaponics system we will set up soon. We would like to have a functioning and small system so that all of our ACRESS family can experience the aquaponics system: see it, touch it, feel the humidity in the air. Having our eyes on such a far away goal as our farm, we like to reward ourselves with urban sustainability to remind us of the goals ahead.



Meet our Oscars: Jung and Freud. A Scotts Valley family generously donated these fish and the tank set up and we can't wait to hook it up to some veggies and start growing!
