Water and Land Saving
In a vertical aquaponics system, water is pumped from the fish tank to the top of the vertical structures where it trickles down through the plant roots. This provides them with the necessary nutrients to thrive and filters the water. The filtered water is then returned to the tank. This continuous cycle ensures that plants and fish thrive in a balanced healthy environment. This system uses 90% less water and 90% less land than conventional farming.
Our Organic and Nutritious Produce
Our produce is naturally organic because our plants grow in our aquaponics vertical towers or are wild harvested. Herbicides and pesticides are not used or they would upset the entire eco-system, kill our fish and poison our dam water. We produce are commercially producing Strawberries, Lettuce, Herbs and Lemon Myrtle.
Our Silver Perch are sold only when they have outgrown our systems ability to sustain them in balance with our plants. Silver perch are a a good source of protein, essential amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3s.
Our Animals
Alpacas are exceptional animals when it comes to environmental sustainability. Unlike goats and sheep, alpacas graze without uprooting plants, which helps maintain pasture health and prevents soil erosion. Our Alpacas provide a fantastic fertilizer and wool.
Our chickens provide us and our dogs farm fresh eggs every day as well as providing fertiliser and eating nearly all of our waste produce. This reintroduces these nutrients back into the ecosystem in a natural way.
Our Maremma’s are our livestock guardian dogs. They are a working breed that loves looking after the farm animals while our little Cavoodle is the mice hunter of the family.
