Owning a self-sufficient home is a dream shared by many in eco-friendly Taos. And having a dependable, year-round source of food at home is an important element of it.
But the growing season is short here and traditional greenhouses can be difficult (and expensive!) to maintain. Plus they provide just vegetables and some of us may want protein as well.
The solution can be an aquaponic system. Tawnya and JD Sawyer have been dedicated to practicing and teaching aquaponics since 2009. They operate Flourish Farm, a 3,200-square-foot aquaponics farm in Denver.
They provide aquaponic training, curriculum development, consulting services and support programs to individuals, schools, institutions and whole communities through Colorado Aquaponics.
