STOP, THINK, EAT, SMILE

When you stop and think about what you eat, how and where it was produced, what it is doing for your health, community, and most importantly our earth, your choices should make you smile.

Sweet Water's $5 Perch! On sale tomorrow!

I took the information below straight from their blog...click the name to get to the site.

Sweet Water Organics "Located in Bayview at 2151 S. Robinson Ave, Milwaukee, WI  Google Map, Sweet Water Organics is the first major commercial upgrading of MacArthur genius Will Allen’s aquaculture methodologies, i.e. a three-tiered, aquaponic, bio-intensive fish-vegetable garden. Sweet Water is the anchor project in the  transformation of a massive industrial building in an “industrial slum” into a show-case of the potential of living technologies and high-value added urban agriculture.  Sweet Water’s sustainable aquaculture system harvests urban waste streams, e.g. wood chips, cardboard, veggie residues, coffee grounds, and brewers mash, along vermiculture lines, yielding the richest possible soil.  This soil in hundreds of potted plants on the simulated wetland tiers is key to the transformation of fish wastes into natural nitrate for plant growth and water filtration.  The fish nourish the plants.  The plants clean the water, and, in the case of tilapia, feed the fish. 
Sweet Water hopes to derive income from the sale of:  fish;  micro greens and cereal grains, including wheat grass; worms; worm castings; and compost.  Other income streams will include tours, events, training, and installation of aquaculture systems."
