Do you crave healthier, fresher food that also benefits the environment? Aquaponic farming might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
This farming method combines aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (vegetable cultivation in water) to create a symbiotic system that produces protein and vegetables with a fraction of the resource inputs of conventional agriculture.
At Future Fresh Farms in Provo, Utah, we’re pioneering state-of-the-art aquaponic systems that are transforming the way local food is produced.
Here’s why aquaponically produced produce is becoming the preference of choice among health-conscious consumers, environmentally savvy supporters, and culinary professionals.
1. Better Taste and Freshness
Our produce is picked at the height of freshness, providing the optimal flavor and texture. Chefs adore the bright flavor of our greens, herbs, and vegetables, which bring zest to each dish.
Why It Matters:
Chefs and foodies prioritize quality and taste over everything else. Aquaponic crops are fresher and have more flavor because they’re grown locally and harvested at their ripest.
2. Nutrient-Rich and Chemical-Free
Grown without synthetic chemicals, our produce is residue-free and full of nutrients. It’s the best option for you and your family.
Why It Matters:
Health-conscious consumers are becoming more concerned with the nutritional content and safety of the food they eat. Aquaponic systems automatically avoid the use of artificial pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
3. Eco-friendly and Sustainable
Our aquaponic systems consume 90% less water than conventional farming, so they are an environmentally friendly option for the planet. By purchasing our produce, you’re promoting sustainable agriculture.
Why It Matters:
Both consumers and chefs are attracted to sustainable methods that reduce the environmental footprint. Aquaponics consumes much less water compared to conventional farming and has a closed system that reduces waste.
4. Year-Round Availability
With our aquaponic systems, you can have fresh, locally grown produce all year round, regardless of the time of year. No more out-of-season imports, just consistent quality.
Why It Matters:
Chefs and buyers have year-round access to fresh produce regardless of the season. Aquaponics offer the potential for year-round growing, even in harsh environments.
5. Community-Supported and Locally Grown
Locally grown right here in Provo, UT, our produce benefits local farmers and cuts down on the carbon footprint of long-distance shipping. Shopping with us benefits your community.
Why It Matters:
Consumers increasingly appreciate locally produced food for its freshness, lower transport emissions, and contribution to local economies.
6. Clean and Safe Growing Environment
Our produce is cultivated in a clean, sterile environment, away from soil-borne contaminates and disease. It’s the safest, cleanest option for your kitchen.
Why It Matters:
Aquaponic plants are mostly cultivated in controlled systems, which minimizes the chances of contamination by soil-borne contaminants or disease-causing pathogens.
7. Specialty and Unique Crops
From specialty heirloom lettuces to unusual herbs, our aquaponic systems enable us to produce specialty and unusual crops that excite the kitchen.
Why It Matters:
Chefs and foodies always seek out unusual ingredients to differentiate their offerings. Aquaponic systems can potentially produce specialty crops that are difficult to source elsewhere.
8. Traceability and Transparency
Through our aquaponic systems, you can trace every herb and leaf back to its origin. We are proud to provide total transparency in the way that our food is cultivated.
Why It Matters:
Consumers want to know where their food is coming from and how it’s being grown. Aquaponic systems offer total traceability and transparency.
9. Enables a Circular Economy
Our aquaponics creates a closed-loop economy, in which fish waste nourishes plants, and plants filter water for fish. It’s a sustainable, zero-waste method of farming.
Why It Matters:
Aquaponics is a closed system that replicates nature, establishing a circular economy in which the waste of fish feeds plants, and plants filter water for fish.
10. Healthier Fish Alternatives
Our fish are grown in a clean, stress-free environment, without antibiotics or hormones. They’re a healthy, sustainable protein for your plate.
Why It Matters:
Aquaponic fish are antibiotic-free and hormone-free, and they’re also grown in clean, controlled environments.
