20,000+ Meals Provided

Lettuce Ready to be Harvested

Thanks to the generosity of numerous volunteers and donors we have now surpassed our milestone of 20,000 meals provided to local soup kitchens in Palm Beach County! We have also had the privilege of hosting school field trips at our aquaponics center where the students received an overview of how an aquaponics farm operates and received hands-on experience with testing water quality, discussing water physics, learning fish/plant anatomy, and discussing the nitrification cycle. Thank you to everyone who has been involved with this amazing initiative as we continue to help fight food insecurity in our area as well as educate the next generation on the importance of sustainable agriculture.
