Revolutionary patent pending inventionfor on-site food production facilities that

scale easily (serving municipalities, institutions or back-yard farms) and provide

years of reliable access to a source of low-fat protein and vegetables that can

be grown organically.

Although aquaponics (the simplest definition being the symbiotic cultivation

of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment) has been around

in various forms for thousands of years, Portable Farms LLC has devised

proprietary ways to produce yields that fall well within established production

parametersfor existing aquaponics systems, but with a much more stable

system requiring less intervention and maintenance, featuring much greaterenvironmental sustainability, when compared to competing technology.

Each turn-key unit is an environmentally-conscious, on-site food production facility that pays for itself ove

time. In its first year of business through June 2009, Portable Farms LLC has received inquiries from 150

countries and conducted 4,000 private tours of its Por table Farms Aquaponics Systems.

Create a sustainable and stable system, featuring

a symbiotic relationship between thriving plants

and healthy aquatic animals.

Utilize a non-soil planting medium.

Eliminate almost entirely the risk of pests and

disease.

Establish year-round productivity for your produce

without using a fully climatized enclosure.

Lessen the need to over-fish our oceans, rivers

and lakes.

Reduce groundwater impact, over-irrigation and

discharge of pollutants attributable to in-ground

farming.

Taking into account the environmental impact

of moving refrigerated food, units can have a

Carbon Negative footprint.

Portable Farms Aquaponics Systems (Patent Pending)Are Easy to Operate and Maintain

No chemicals (that means no pesticides, herbicides o

fungicides), fertilizers, nutrients, antibiotics or buffer

need to be added to the system to enhance the growth

and the health of the plants and fish, and there is no nto continuously monitor the nutrient levels, pH, salinityoxygen or anything else in the water or gravel.

The Portable Farms Aquaponics System uses a timecycle to circulate the water throughout the system, sothe plants constantly receive a fresh supply of warm,nutrient-laden water.

Since plants grow in trays filled with gravel or river ro

and there is absolutely no soil used in the system, weeing and traditional agricultural pests are eliminated.

Daily operations and maintenance in a 20' x 30' unit c

be accomplished in as little as 20 minutes per day. A

single person, with proper training, can operate andmaintain 20,000 square feet, nearly one-half (1/2) acr

of Portable Farms Aquaponics Systems.Like other true aquaponics systems, fresh water usagand waste is dramatically curtailed(these systemsrequire only a small fraction of the fresh water requiredto irrigate a comparable number of vegetables planted the ground).

Scaling actually enhances reliability redundan-

cies built into the Aquaponics System means that

a typical 90 x 120 commercial unit will remainmore than 95% operational even in the unlikely

event of a component failure or user negligence.

The Portable Farms Aquaponics System

scales easily and can be sized to meet your

exact production needs and specifications.
