Education is Key

Bountyhaus School Farms is a powerful teaching tool which allows hands on immersive and sensory learning inside an Aquaponic farming space.

It’s all about learning! And School Farms enhances established School curriculums with an interactive learning system that brings scientific concepts out of the textbook and places them directly in front of students. Students can break away from text books to study areas such as Life and Environmental Sciences in addition to integrating all STEAM subjects. Students develop critical thinking while connecting to real world applications.

Germination tracking, case studies, engineering, statistics, business, marketing, nutrition and the fun stuff like seeding, harvesting and, don’t forget, feeding hungry fish! These are just a few things that can empower learning minds. Whether it is the sciences, technology, math, environment or nutrition, Bountyhaus School Farms offers an unparalleled approach that is both exciting, compelling and engaging.

The Harris Poll conducted a global survey in 2019 and found that many students lack confidence particularly in STEAM (Science, Technology, Arts and Math) which hinders their learning ability in general. They found that hands on learning is a critical tool to rebuild confidence. Bountyhaus School Farms is the perfect hands on learning tool to achieve increased student confidence and learning and move with Next Generation Learning.

Aquaponics is a Complete Loop Eco System where the fish provide the nutrients for the plants

Aquaponics is a natural ecosystem. The fish waste goes through a natural filtration process in the particulate filter using good bacteria. The nutrient rich water is then pumped into deep water rafts and the plant roots sit in the water and absorb the nutrients and further clean the water. Water returns back to the fish tank and the cycle continues using over 90% less water than traditional farming. No soil is used. It is a Pesticide free environment where the fish are fed with organic feed to create the nutrient waste. Fresh produce is organic and fish are mercury free. Aquaponics has been successfully used for a very long time since the Aztecs and Chinese. Aquaponic farming produces great tasting, high quality greens that stay fresher longer. All of this occurs inside a Bountyhaus School Farm 365 days a year.
