Using Portable Farms You Can Grow Your Own Organic Vegetables, Herbs, and Home-Grown Fish in Less than 5 Minutes a Day.  

With Portable Farms you can grow your own food at home including vegetables, herbs, carrots, and fish (including tilapia and catfish).  100 pounds of home-grown fish and more than 400 heads of lettuce per year in a small 6 foot x 8 foot space with your own Portable Farms™ Kit! Become self sufficient and self reliant by raising fresh organic table vegetables and home-grown fish to help feed your family, year round, by owning your own Portable Farm™.

* No need to water your plants because a Portable Farm™ uses a one hour, twice-a-day cycle to circulate the water throughout the system so the plants constantly receive a fresh supply of nutrient-laden water.

* No soil is necessary. Your plants grow in trays or beds filled with gravel or river rocks.

* No weeding is necessary.

* There's no need to hand feed your fish either because your Portable Farms™ Kit contains two automatic fish feeders.

* No pesticides or fertilizers are necessary.

* Plus, your entire system can be Solar Powered and completely automated.

A Portable Farms™ is scaleable for family, community, organizational or institutional installations, and can also be scaled for commercial growing. The fish and vegetables can be eaten or sold locally to stores or restaurants.

A Portable Farm™ is a very simple system: A newly patented pump moves the water from the fish tanks and through a settling tank. From there, the water flows through shallow trays containing gravel where the vegetables are planted, and then the water flows back to the fish tanks. The new pump keeps the fish tanks free of sediments while it sends the nutrients to the plants. It's a perfectly efficient system.
