Farmer-Partner
Program
Aquaponics Earth is actively looking for Farmer-Partners to share in the revenues resulting from growing and selling fresh, locally grown fish and produce.
Join our growing family and benefit from being part of a team effort to put natural, wholesome, healthy, non-GMO food into every local marketplace in the US and then the world. You’ll get a brand that’s going national and international, full operational support and an ingeniously developed Marketing Plan. Be a Farmer-partner in one of the most innovative food-growing businesses of the 21st century.
What is a Farmer-Partner? Farmer-partners are farmers and entrepreneurs who want to build Aquaponics Earth BIO Stations on their property in order to produce the best tasting, most wholesome food with the highest nutritional value available.
Aquaponics Earth BIO Stations are greenhouses or warehouses of commercial size totaling a minimum of 20,000 sq. feet on two acres of land or more. Even if your BIO Station project is planned for a tropical or semi-tropical location where year-round temperatures remain in the mid 70’s F (24 C), farmer-partners will still need one or more greenhouses to insure that their crops are not being contaminated by the ever dangerous encroachment of GMO’s and overspray from pesticides and chemicals used in tillage farming.
Our farmer-partners participate with us in the Feasibility Study and the Design of their BIO Station. We oversee the construction of their Greenhouse and they receive diligent oversight during every phase of the project along with reliable resource recommendations. Below are photos of some popular greenhouse designs.
Picture #1 shows a series of the most expensive greenhouses on the market as they are made the old fashioned way, with glass--lots of glass. The advantage of using glass is it is durable and with proper care can last a lifetime. An entry chamber (not pictured here) will be created to serve as an airlock that keeps out unwanted contaminants in all of our BIO Station designs.
Picture #2 shows a series of greenhouses in the mid-range price made with double-layers of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is more economical than glass but has a shorter life span which is around a decade. Notice the fans designed to blow cool air through the greenhouse.
When designing your Aquaponics Earth BIO Station, we need to consider how to control the temperature year round. In some climates, that means you’ll need to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. Hot, dry climates can use inexpensive evaporative coolers in place of air conditioners. There’s also a less expensive form of air conditioning called fogging that can be utilized. All of our Aquaponics Earth BIO Stations will have back-up power and generators, and many will utilize energy efficient and cost effective solar heating.

BIO Station Design: Every design is a custom design that depends on locality, orientation and usable, available land. We are experts at maximizing space utilization to optimize your greenhouse production to get the highest return on your investment. We employ the most up to date technologies in aquaponics. With proper management, your Aquaponics Earth BIO Station will consistently grow out market-sized fish and a variety of vegetables and fruits.
Aquaponics Earth and their Farmer-partners share the revenues. If a third partner, an Investor, is involved, then the revenue sharing goes three ways. Together we create a strong, national brand that retains the coveted “Locally Grown” moniker as each BIO Station services its local community. A farmer-partner’s BIO Station’s operations gets the full operational support and backup of Aquaponics Earth and also benefits from a fully developed Marketing Program.
