We pride ourselves in offering fresh produce and fish to customers in Arizona and across the United States.
We use Tilapia to fertilize a variety of crops and herbs. Tilapia is a perfect fish for aquaponics because of its rapid growth, large size, and because it tastes great. Tilapia are easy to raise and we can market them to restaurants, market basket customers, and they are a favorite in ethnic markets.
All of our tilapia, vegetables and other plants are grown using the techniques of aquaponics. A self-contained process which grows crops and fish together in a re-circulating system. Free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, GMO's, and growth hormones.
Half the work of a dirt garden. Less expensive than a fish aquarium. Start small and grow big. No back breaking labor. Grown under conditions you control. Good for the environment.
We sell complete aquaponics systems, and are always willing to educate others on how to setup and maintain their own system. We always have fresh tilapia available. And our Phoenix tilapia farm is conveniently located in Glendale, and can supply an supply fresh tilapia to customers in Phoenix, Arizona and throughout Arizona and the United States on a continuous basis. We are very close to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Interstate 17 and Interstate 10.
In March of 2014 we put 25 1 and 2 inch fish into a shallow 1,200 gallon pool. In June and July we netted 500 new fry. This past Thanksgiving Weekend we held our first major fish harvest and netted 400 3 to 6 inch fish. Not bad for our first year of grow out.

================================================================
Aquaponics is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment, or ecosystem.
In normal aquaculture, excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrogen-fixing bacteria into nitrates and nitrites, which are utilized by the plants as nutrients. The water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system.
