    Yeah, I understand.  Still, even if they're hurting for money, they're gonna try for as long as possible to take advantage of others through their "internship", in their attempt to fix their money problems, I'm sure.   Sad that that has to happen.   I just thought if someone (even if it isn't feesible for you) was persuing legal measures against them that maybe they could somehow be better regulated or taken out of the business so that they don't continue to put a bad flavor for aquaponics into people's mouth.

    We've been adding on to the systems continuously since you were here. We now have well over 1000 sqft of grow space between the rafts, media, nft, and towers. We now sell all our produce out of a small fridge in the front of the property as an honor farm fridge. We have found our niche as a strictly neighborhood farm. What have you been up to since leaving the Big Island?
