On our next family visit to NJ & NY, we were intending to visit you (Cabbage Hill Farms on the last visit). It will be really fun now that we can get to learn and share ideas with each other :-)

God bless,

I'm so excited to see you guys in here!! My daughter and I visited you almost exactly 2 years ago and was so impressed. Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community! I hope you find it a fun place to explore aquaponics. There is a real blend of experienced and new aquapons in this community, so please don’t hesitate to join in. Always thrilled to have experienced growers join us – please post some photos of your system!

A great place to start is to read the “How to Use This Site” link on the upper right corner, “Start Here” section of the Main page.

Please participate and check in with us every day! We are constantly posting news about aquaponics and the good food movement.

Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.

Sylvia
