Located at Kirby Peak Ranch is a state-of-the-art greenhouse structure encompassing nearly 1/2 acre and housing fascinating plant and fish culture systems. Our introductory guided tour allows visitors to wander among the lush plants while learning about the technologies of soilless plant culture, aquaculture and the combination of these methods, aquaponics. Specialized 2-3 day workshops and conferences provide a structured classroom and a hands-on learning experience and the intensive training program offers enthusiastic students a unique opportunity to learn all facets of this 21st century means of growing food while living on the park-like agri-campus for a 3 month session. In the hydroponic and aquaponic plant production systems you'll find juicy beefsteak tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, fancy lettuces, strawberries, fresh culinary herbs, edible flowers, cucumbers, peppers and nearly any other garden crop, all grown without soil. The fish tanks are home to hybrid carp, largemouth bass, sturgeon and koi. Join us for Lunch with the Llamas!
