In November, we kicked off an exciting aquaponics venture at DanDan's farm! It's like our own little farming experiment to understand how fish and crops can team up for the best results. Our dream? To fine-tune this cool aquaponics system and share it with schools, hospitals, and villages where growing things isn't as easy.
Heartfelt gratitude to Matt, Dave, Steve, DanDan, our amazing donors, and every helping hand that made this project happen. You guys turned our dream into a reality! Together, we're growing something awesome for communities that could use a green boost. 🌱🐟
