Welcome to our Aquaponic Farm
QUALITY AQUAPONIC FARMS
At Sullivan Road Farms, we’re proud to have built two custom aquaponic farms using high-quality materials, timeless carpentry craftsmanship, and modern technology. Designed for durability and sustainability, these systems are engineered to produce nutrient-dense, clean food for years to come.
Every material is chosen with care: pressure-treated wood is used only in substructures—never in areas that touch recirculating water—ensuring the health of our fish, bacteria, plants, and, ultimately, your family.
FISH ENVIRONMENT
FISH FIRST: HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS MATTER
Unlike conventional fish farms that prioritize volume over wellness, we obsess over the health of our fish. Overcrowded tanks and poor water quality aren’t part of our model. Our systems are designed for optimal water flow and fish density, supporting both physical and social health.
Why? Because healthier fish produce higher-quality waste. That waste feeds naturally occurring bacteria, which in turn nourish our plants. It’s all connected—from fish tank to dinner plate.
OUR PROPRIETARY WATER SYSTEM
Instead of relying on complicated and failure-prone motorized filters, our aquaponic farms are powered by gravity, flow, and force—natural elements that don’t fail. We’ve developed and continue to refine our own mechanical and biological filtration systems to process fish waste efficiently and sustainably.
We also conduct weekly water testing using an in-house photospectrometer to ensure nutrient levels are just right for the entire ecosystem.
THE BACTERIA BEHIND THE MAGIC
Aquaponics thrives on the invisible heroes: bacteria. Our systems support three key types of naturally occurring microbes—just like those found in healthy soil. They convert fish waste into plant-available nutrients in a two-step process: from ammonia to nitrites, and then to nitrates.
To maintain consistency and system health, we culture our own bacteria, ensuring we have a sustainable and stable supply for our current and future farms.
THE HEALTHY PLANTS
OUR PLANTS: GROWN TO THRIVE
In nature, plants draw water, nutrients, and oxygen through their roots, and carbon dioxide through their leaves. Our Florida-based aquaponic systems provide all of that—plus abundant sunlight and fresh air.
The result? Plants that thrive and produce exceptional, nutrient-rich vegetables. We start with 100% natural, organic, heirloom seeds—never GMOs—and grow varieties not commonly found in our region. You’ll see, smell, and taste the difference.
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IN ACTION
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a practice we live by, with three main pillars:
1. Environmental Stewardship
We use and recirculate water, rest our land to let it heal, and integrate renewable energy like solar and wind. One acre of aquaponics can yield what would otherwise require 20 acres of traditional farming.
2. Economic Sustainability
Our farms are designed to operate profitably—without sacrificing affordability—so we can serve our community for generations to come.
3. Social Responsibility
We grow food that heals and strive to make it accessible to all. We proudly welcome veterans and those experiencing homelessness into the Sullivan Road Farms story as part of our mission of nourishment and inclusion.
We also breed our own fish, cultivate our own bacteria, and harvest our own seeds—ensuring resilience and independence across our systems.
OUR BEAUTIFUL VEGGIES
To truly appreciate the difference in our produce, just use your senses: Look, Feel, Smell, and Taste. Aquaponically grown veggies are among the most nutrient-rich and flavorful foods available today.
