Hi Jessica, I'm located in Kirkland WA, I was wondering if you would be interested in working on an open source project to develop an aquaponic greenhouse for developing nations. I went to your website, it's cool because I visited the aquaponic greenhouse at the organic farm in Olympia that is featured on your website. We are working with Daniel Cherniske currently on the project, however he has been very busy lately.
Jessica,
I am a fellow aquapon based in Seattle. I have founded an organization called True Blue Aquaponics and am researching different ways to integrate appropriate technology into AP. I am hopefully headed to Olympia later this week and was wondering if you could show me your system.
I should be in town Thursday and Friday.

Wow! I just got back from helping Max start up "Finca Neptuno" in Costa Rica. It's a 200+ acre piece of land that's going to be an ecological preservation and worlds largest aquaponics system.
Hope your project is a huge success. Inform me if you post photos anywhere. Best from a fellow aquaneer.

Hey Jessica-
Your note caught my eye because my Olympia is my hometown. I've been living in Chicago for 10 years,- I'm a high school history teacher with a small aqauponics system set up in my classroom. Are you an enviro student? Can we keep in touch? I come home once a year and would love to see what you guys set up.
