Just call us at 760-671-3053. Established in 2009. We know how to build PLUG & GROW™ Aquaponics Systems and grow healthy, nutritious, GMO and pesticide-free food in them.

These Classrooms are a Teacher's Dream Come True, full of motivated involved students who are eager and willing to learn. PLUG & GROW™ STEM Teaching & Food Growing Systems turn ordinary Classrooms into Adventures in Learning and students into eager explorers into the realm of Science, Biology, Chemistry, Math and more.

Schools are embracing Aquaponics in great numbers through their STEM Programs, and we are affiliated with the STEM Organizations below.

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, and it is a very hot topic among educators. STEM utilizes a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in these four disciplines with a hands-on, interdisciplinary rather than isolated approach.

That's why Aquaponics PLUG & GROW™ STEM Teaching & Food Growing Systems are so popular. Aquaponics is a food growing technology that puts these disciplines all together in one subject, and it's definitely hands-on–wet hands, gritty hands, fishy hands, busy and happy hands.

Here's where to START. Go to the Big Beige Box below. It directs you to the $122 Billion Dollars that are now sitting in your SEA (State Educational Agency)

Teachers and Administrators, because of Coronavirus, there is more money out there than at any other time. Billions of dollars more than ever before. All you have to do is Request and Receive.  It's going to take some digging and due diligence, but so did becoming a Teacher or Administrator. That's what you're good at.

You may also want to read this Article by Angela Arnold at MarketScale. She directs you into what she calls the "acronym soup" of Government Agencies that are holding the public funds. They include: ESSER, Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief Fund, CARES, Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security, ESF, Education Stabilization Fund, ARP, American Rescue Plan for K-12, CRRSA, Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations and GEER, Governor's Emergency Education Relief Grant Program.

To track how much of these Funds are still available in your State, go to Education Stabilization Fund. Much hasn't been touched!

WARNING

Supply Chain Disruptions are not coming! They WERE HERE, and have now turned into SUPPLY CHAIN FAILURES. Every American is about to be shocked by what is the unthinkable, Food and Basic Supply Shortages that will make the Toilet Paper scare look like a blip on the Fright Meter. These are the times that so-called Preppers have been preparing for, and if you haven't stepped into that world of storing some basic food essentials and growing food, you are about to wish you had. Along with these Food and Supply Shortages HYPER INFLATION is coming that is going to cause Food prices to sky rocket!

Essentially, what is happening is a confluence of complicated issues that were exasperated by the Covid Pandemic and our Government's reaction to it. Early in the Pandemic scare, many American workers stayed home and collected Unemployment or worked from home to avoid contact with others who might be spreading the virus.

You may not realize it yet, but those Container Ships that were sitting off shore in the 10 Largest U.S. Ports, including the Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach, Port of Newark and New York, Port of Savannah, Port of Houston, Port of Seattle, Port of Norfolk, Port of Tacoma, Port of Charleston and Port of Oakland aren't there anymore because Big Box Retialers are cutting thier inventories due to the tragic fact that Americans are unemployed and having to spend so much for Food, Gas and Shelter, that that they are not consuming other products in anywhere near their normal patterns.

Step 1: Determine what you need the ESSER Funds for. See if any other Teachers in your School or District would want to join you in this request to bring Aquaponics to your School or District. How many Teachers would be involved? How many classes would benefit? How many students would be participating in the Aquaponics Project.

Step 2: Choose the STEM Teaching & Food Growing System or Systems you would like to fund with ARP ESSER Funds.

Step 3: Follow the Five Steps for Getting A Quote from us at the top of Where To Get A Grant page.

Step 4: Get Support from your Administration. In order to receive ESSER funds, your LEA (Local Educational Agency) will need to request them from your SEA (State Educational Agency). This simply means you will need support from your school and district administration. Formalize your funding request to your administration to get started. We have a Snail Mailing we would be happy to send out to your Administration upon your request. Email or Call us.

Step 5: Send your ESSER Funding Request to your SEA. Once you have received support from your LEA administration and finalized your needs, your LEA will need to send your ESSER funding request to your SEA. Each SEA may have different procedures, so contact your SEA to get exact details. SEA Contacts are on your Left.

What is a

PLUG & GROW™

Aquaponics System?

Everything is included. You buy it, add Seeds and Water, and start growing Food. No guess work.

It's balanced for the perfect Fish to Water Ratio, and even the Fish come with it, along with their Food and an Automatic Fish Feeder!

When Unemployment ran out, the Government caused a mass firing event based on thousands of workers not wanting to get the Vaccine due to Religious concerns or Natural Immunity, based on their having already had Covid, which the Government is ignoring. The result is there are thousands of workers out of jobs just when inflation sky rockets. We are seeing this catastrophic problem spread throughout all areas of Supplies and Services including Airlines starting with Southwest, Hospitals, Police Forces, the Military and more.

And this happened just as the 2022 Holiday Season kicked into action. Instead of beefing up inventory, the Stores  reduced it. Speaking of beef.

Meat prices are making a beeline to the moon so Americans will gravitate to eating more FISH, and guess what? China will benefit.

According to the Wilson Center's statistics, the U.S. is the second largest foreign market for China's commodities. The chart on the left (which was created in 2010) shows

a whopping 50% of Cod in American grocery stores was imported from China along with 79% of the Tilapia among other imports that include fruits and vegetables, snack foods, species and tea. Remember those numbers are from 2010, and only grew larger as time passed.

If you haven't figured out yet that Aquaponics is a Food Growing Technology that grows Food Fish along with Vegetables, and that Tilapia is the most popular and easiest fish to learn to farm in Homes or Schools, this is the Good News. You can grow your own Tilapia and guarantee food security by creating your own Aquaponics System at your Home or School.
