Our aquaponics initiative is in full swing as we begin to deliver over 150 heads of lettuce every week to area soup kitchens in South Florida. Thank you to all of our supporters and volunteers who have assisted thus far with this innovative program. We recently donated our first harvest of microgreens to the Boca Helping Hands Soup Kitchen in Boca Raton, FL as well as educated over 40 students about sustainable agriculture utilizing hands-on STEM education tools.
The students were able to experience first-hand how to test water quality, the science behind the nitrogen cycle, and the environmental benefits of sustainable agriculture versus conventional agriculture. Join us as we continue to expand this amazing program, and if you are in South Florida, we encourage you to stop by the facility to see the amazing work our team is doing.
