WHAT WE DO
We utilize an innovative and environmentally responsible system to produce fresh greens and fish filets for our local food markets and you!
The system is designed to be able to product fresh food in almost any facility or environment.
FISH
Our fish are housed in two 1,000 gallon tanks with state-of-the-art filtration systems to keep the water as clear as the Canadian backwaters.
AEROPONIC TOWERS
Our system utilizes aeroponic towers. These allow us to use every square foot of our facility for maximum yield. It also allows our system to use less water and optimize nutrient uptake.
THE SYSTEM
Together, our system can grow over 25,000 pounds of culinary herbs and 1,500 pounds of walleye every year. The system conserves energy using LED lights and recycles water many times through the system.
LOCATION
We like to upcycle as much as we can. This includes the warehouse with Aqua Garden grows its fish and produce!
We are re-using an old potato storage warehouse. It is a close to ideal location with plenty of insulation to limit the amount of heating and cooling energy with lots of ventilation to keep the plants healthy.
PRODUCE
Our flexible system allows us to grow a variety of produce. The primary focus, however, is culinary and cocktail hebs.
These include...
Wobbly Walleye Brand, Basil, Mint, Dill, Cilantro, Parsley, Broccoli Microgreens, Chives, Thyme, Sage and Rosemary
GROWN BY WALLEYE. IN WISCONSIN.
HOW IT WORKS
THE PROCESS
Our walleye live in their own fish tanks and the waste the fish produce is sent through a filtration system. Our filters separate the solids and then leave effluent water to be sent through the nitrification process.
Nitrifying bacteria turns the amonia from the waste into nitrates the plants can utilize. The nutrient rich water flows to our towers automatically, supplying the plants with the accurate amount of water and nutrients.
