Roybal Aquaponics Farm
Our aquaponics farm system features over 700 tilapia fish and a sustainable organic vegetable garden. This is the first Aquaponics Farm in the East LA area bringing resources together for a common purpose. The Aquaponics Farm, is a way to find solutions across a broad range of sectors promoting healthy eating habits through education and behavior, by:
1. Creating opportunities for multi-generational volunteers working together as they learn from one another.
2. Hosting cooking classes with the garden vegetables.
3. Developing partnerships to create new aquaponic farms throughout our communities.
4. Partnering with schools and community organizations to tour the Aquaponics Farm and use a learning resource and an interactive experience.
