Our Farms
AGRI HUB
The beating heart of Ichthys Aquaponics is located at our Agri Hub in Midrand. Aspiring aquaponic farmers can rent out the Agri Hub tunnels. We then guide these new farmers through the process of setting up and maintaining a commercial aquaponic system. With a seedling facility, packhouse and ready to go aquaponic systems – the Agri-Preneurs have the best chance at understanding the challenges and triumphs of commercial aquaponic farming. The produce from the Agri Hub supplies a wide variety of fresh produce and organically fed fish. Including, trout, catfish and tilapia that is all harvested, prepared and packaged on our premises.
