Aquaculture Farm Concept
The Mermaid’s Garden Aquaculture Farm is committed to the practice and development of inland, sustainable aquaculture that has minimal environmental impact and reduced contamination to the earth. We provide people with fish that are healthy and humanely farmed.
We will engage in research to further the development of sustainable aquaculture practices to restore and preserve the land we farm on.
Why We Are Here
You might think that the fish you buy at the grocery store is good for your body, but you would be shocked to find out how full of antibiotics, pesticides and hormones your fish really is. We started the aquaculture farm because we were disturbed to discover how awful the fish were for our bodies.
As a result, we are building a recirculating aquaculture system that can be used to safely and sustainably farm hybrid striped bass at The Mermaid’s Garden.
Much of our seafood in the United States is imported from other countries, with complicated supply chains and production methods that struggle with transparency. Often, the label on the fish you eat is not that kind of fish at all. We started the aquaculture farm because we believe consumers deserve honest, transparent, healthy seafood cultivated with local, caring hands.

Quality Control
Here at The Mermaid’s Garden, our aquaculture farm will be designed to manage environmental parameters like water temperature, oxygen levels, and pH to ensure high- quality, and delicious fish raised in an environment without stress. Recirculating aquaculture also uses less water, limits farm discharge, and has a low ecological footprint. Our fish will be grown without use of hormones, antibiotics, heavy metals or pesticides
