The Fish’s Garden joined the Verde River Exchange in 2017. This sustainability-minded business utilizes aquaponics, a low-water-use farming method that combines fish and vegetable farming in a single system. First started as a small family business in Camp Verde, Arizona, the Fish’s Garden is now a 3,000-square-foot commercial greenhouse that sells produce to local Verde Valley restaurants.
