About Us
Kitsap Farms is an 1,800 sq ft aquaponic facility. Aquaponics is the combination of recirculating aquaculture and hydroponics. In aquaponics, the fish waste provides nutrients for the growing plants and the plants provide a natural filter for the water the fish live in. This creates an ecosystem where both plants and fish can thrive.
Our greenhouse facility provides the ideal air temperature, humidity and ventilation to the plants and the ideal water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels for the fish. The controlled environment greenhouse allows Kitsap Farms to implement an efficient and effective bio- security program for growing and post-harvest processes. We combine these equipment components and Global GAP (good agricultural practices) to ensure and demonstrate safe food production. We have the ability to identify and track all fish and produce harvests and shipments.

Practices
Leonardo da Vinci once said that “Water is the driving force of all nature.” Unfortunately for our planet, supplies are now running dry. The world’s population continues to rise and with that increase so does the demand for food. In some agricultural states it is estimated that 33 billion gallons of water is needed each year to raise food crops. Unfortunately, the rise in population has not been matched by an accompanying increase in supplies of fresh water.
The technology used at our facility is sustainable, environmentally friendly, uses one tenth less water than traditional farming and eliminates the use of herbicides and pesticides and mined and manufactured fertilizers; therefore, producing healthful, flavorful, safe and sustainable food products.
