| Presentations
and Sponsorships We are available to make presentations to your service club, school, church, or other civic organization. We enjoy letting you know how you can help people feed themselves while learning about life cycles, water conservation and re-cycling, hydroponics, aquaponics, plus the fun and educational value of seeing large quantities of food produced in a small sustained environment.
We are also constantly on the lookout for corporate
sponsors who are willing to help a school or other organization afford a
an aquaponic garden or farm. Just imagine how many kids can benefit from having their own
Grow Foods aquaponic learning center on their property and the fun and learning it will provide! It might
be the best (and greenest) PR dollar you ever spent. We have a curriculum under development that schools can use to involve the maximum number of students in this fascinating project. We recommend that the greenhouse or enclosure be accessible to all, with the growing beds reduced to wheel chair height, not only for the benefit of the disabled, but also so that the youngest and smallest students can take part in planting seedlings and harvesting produce. If any organization does not want or need to produce fish for food, they can use goldfish and/or koi in their system. Then instead of harvesting the fish, they can be sold or given away as pets when they mature. Although they will grow more slowly than tilapia, they will probably be worth much more per pound as pets or ornamentals. How about an annual PTA pet fish sale? Many service clubs are interested in exporting our aquaponic gardens and farms to places where the food produced will be an important supplement to the local diet. We recommend that a Grow Foods aquaponic system be installed locally, if possible, so that the club members can learn the techniques needed before setting up in a remote location. The local project also serves as a model to show to potential donors for fund raising purposes. We are also pleased to take interested parties to visit the existing farms in the area. Just contact us so we can answer your questions and help you develop your plans.
