<p>Do you happen to know of any insurance companies that cover commercial aquaponics for the sale of produce and fish? I have spoken to several insurance companies and they have all said they have never heard of this and can't cover me. Thanks,</p>

Well the way things work around here. My business is in the computer and on the internet, anything outside my home is my personal garden since the business license doesn't allow for anything to do with my business outside the house nor does it allow for customers to come to the house.
