About Me

My whole life has built up to my family and I living on a sustainable, responsible farm near the family that raised me in Cincinnati, OH. This would enable us to 1) live near family after 9 years of active duty service in the Marine Corps, 2) provide people in the southwestern OH area with another avenue of responsibly grown food (there are a few that exist; I ain't claiming to be the first), and 3) educate the consuming public about food and environmental responsbility. We hope to one day be able to have a fall festival featuring a corn maze, apple picking, hay rides, pumpkin patch, etc. You may have noticed a donation link on the right. It is going to cost us around $250,000 for us to start out and that isn't including the double-wide we will be living in. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.

Aquaponics

Aquaponics is the growing of fish (Aquaculture) symbiotically with plants  being grown in water (hydroponics). The waste the fish give off nourishes the plants and the plants clean the water for the fish. Once set up, their are only three system inputs or requirements: fish food, electricity (for the pump) and the plant seeds. No pesticides, no artificial fertilizers, no chemicals. Aquaponic growers need not concern themselves with the formality of become certified organic. You know there are no chemicals being used because the fish are alive. You know the water is clean because the fish are alive.
