Profile Information
- How did you find us?
- sylvia
- Are you an aquaponic gardener already?
- yes
- If so, what type of system? (pick all that apply)
- We started with a 40 gallon rubbermaid tote system in our basement, then added multiple 10 gallon and a 20 gallon aquarium sized systems growing lettuce and various herbs.
Just finished building a 380 gallon 4'x 8' two tier Growing Power style system for the Growhaus project.
We added two 275 gallon IBC fish tanks with yellow perch, and tilapia. They support four growbeds with lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, strawberries and other misc.
Looking to add some vertical elements in the near future, as well as moving outside this spring.
- Please tell us something else about yourself.
- We started an aquaponics business and work with home owners, non-profits and communities to install small to medium sized aquaponics systems. We love the excitement and interest that people have when they first hear about the concept.
We also have 7 month old twins and a 3 year old who loves to "help" with planting and harvesting. Some days are just too busy.

What makes you passionate about aquaponics? I’m sure an answer (or many) jumped to mind, from conserving water, to abundant nutritious vegetables, the fish greeting you each morning or the empowering feeling of growing your own food. We love all of those things too, but what makes us passionate about aquaponics is being able to share it with other people. Just like sharing your pictures, stories and dialog through the aquaponics community, sharing…

Hello .
I am Mrs. Sheila Terrault, an aging widow suffering from long time illness (Esophageal Cancer). I have some important information (charity proposal) for you, May God continue to bless you, Please reply (sheilaterrault@gmail.com) for more details.
your sister in the Lord,
Mrs. Sheila Terrault.
Hi Tawnya,
Thank you! Wow, you do have a lot going on. You are so very right and it takes a business minded person to run a commercial farm. It is a business first and diversifying and utilizing all of your available talents only help insure success. I watch what you guys are doing too and am so very impressed as well!
I actually have had the opportunity and pleasure to talk to Marianne recently about the RFC and the work Sylvia and I have been doing for the Aquaponics Association. Marianne seems like an incredible, dynamic and passionate lady and we are looking forward to working with her in some capacity with both organizations and for me to get to meet her this September.
I wish you were going to be able to come in September, but I am guessing someone must hold down the fort, especially with a 15,000 sqft greenhouse underway. Incredible! Please tell JD I look forward to meeting him and hopefully soon maybe I will make my way out there to meet you and see your operation.
Thanks again for the kind words and let's keep in touch!
Best,
Gina
Hey Tawnya, thanks for getting back to me, I apologize I took a while to reply. I appreciate the offer for the recording but I don't think it will be feasible for me at this time. Thanks anyways :]

Tawnya, I would love to come by the Growhaus, do we need to call before we come, or are you open to the public with business hours?
Yes I'm selling the media now- although if you made your own towers, I'm not guaranteeing that it will work in the towers, or even fit the towers for that matter. If you'd like some email me at nate81@uwyo.edu and I'll send you a price list- also, you'll want a hook too probably.
Nate
