I recently had a very interesting discussion with an official from the marketing division of Florida Department of Agriculture. Residing in Central Florida, I am used to the area being a Tourist Mecca...what with Disney & Universal +++, and realize the huge economic importance this creates.

I recently had a very interesting discussion with an official from the marketing division of Florida Department of Agriculture. Residing in Central Florida, I am used to the area being a Tourist Mecca...what with Disney & Universal +++, and realize the huge economic importance this creates. During our conversations of how effectively to market our Aquaponic produce via "Fresh from Florida", keeping in mind my desire to abide by our tag line "grown locally, grown naturally", she inquired as to whether I would be open to allowing visitors to the Aquaponics research fish farm. Of course, wanting to share such knowledge and create awareness thus hopefully lead as many people as possible to utilize this "way of life", I realized what she meant by <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Argitourism"</span>.<br/><br/>Here is a fantastic opportunity for all of us who chose to follow this way of life. There could be numerous opportunities for extra income in your commercial aquaponics venture if you keep this in mind. As I recall a quote in one of my favorite movies "Field of Dreams"..."If you build it, he will come" :-)<br/>
