New Blog: Aquaculture Means Business

My research into ocean-friendly business practices has developed into a bit of an obsession with aquaculture. I believe this field is bursting with opportunities to make money while helping restore the world's oceans to their former healthy state. I hope you'll stop by my new blog - Aquaculture Means Business - and let me know what you think.

Sea Breeze Farm - Ocean-Friendly Farming

Check these guys out.

Located on Vashon Island, Washington, Sea Breeze farm describes itself as "a diverse, multi-species, grass-based animal farm". What makes them ocean friendly?

"We practice an intensive pasture rotation in lieu of commercial fertilizers. Our freely-ranging poultry flocks effectively forage, fertilize and cleanse the pastures behind our dairy herd. The resulting meat, dairy and eggs are remarkably flavorful, gorgeously colored and fantastically healthful. It goes without saying that no herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics or artificial inputs exist on our farm."

No commercial fertilizers, no herbicides, pesticides, or antibiotics going into the groundwater, the rivers, the ocean. Sea Breeze Farm represents the opposite of everything that is wrong with industrial agriculture. Not just a farm, but also a restaurant, a butcher shop, and a winery.

These folks appear to be thriving while doing no harm to the earth or its oceans. Let's hope they are the future of farming.
