During their time here, they learned about our future aquaponics plans, a bit of RhibaFarms history and general day to day operations from Mark.  Roger, our water expert spoke to them about water, more particularly about how city water can be improved for growing.  He showed them what 500 PPM of total dissolved solids (tap water) looks like after being separated by a water flocculator.  Roger also went over some of the concepts of structured water.  Office and internet operations were briefly discussed by Suzi and Brian.  We took the class outside behind the greenhouse to see our soon to be running aquaponics tanks and to our experimental raised beds that contain peppers and lettuce.  While inside the greenhouse Harold went over our different hydroponics systems and Mark explained some of the basic features of our greenhouse.

We hope the class got some useful information, we know we had a ton of fun.  If you have a class or group that is interested in touring RhibaFarms, let us know at info@rhibafarms.com.  We can do tours for classes from kindergarten through college.

Thanks to Rebekah and her class for coming out.  You can find out more about the many agricultural programs they offer at Prescott College at www.prescott.edu
