DE PERE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – An urban farming project has built its second indoor farm.
The Farmory constructed a soil-based aquaponics system in West De Pere High School’s greenhouse.
Program Director Alex Smith speaks at Thursday’s ribbon cutting.
“Students are actually going to be able to learn to grow food. They’re going to learn about a sustainable farming methods, aquaponics, and then they’re going to be introduced to this as a career opportunity, which is something that’s really different and creative for agriculture.”
The Farmory will work with school staff to train students on operating and caring for fish and plants.
The campaign aims to bring local and sustainable indoor agriculture to Northeast Wisconsin.
