We think Mitch is pretty happy about receiving 小白菜 (Shanghai Bok Choy) from the upstairs farm! He turned it into bok choy in oyster sauce which you can currently find @zaozemaine and can always find on the menu @baobaodumplinghouse. Talk about farm to table! 🌱🐟

Hate bugs in your produce? Us too! Aphids are a co

Hate bugs in your produce? Us too! Aphids are a common infestation in aquaponics systems. Who wouldn’t want to live up in the greenhouse? They are not harmful to the produce, but are annoying when we have to wash them off to get it sale ready. Most systems use an integrated pest management to control the aphid populations, and 2 weeks ago Canopy Farms released 6,000 ladybugs in the greenhouse. They ate the aphids, had babies (seen above) and now the babies are eating the aphids too!

Big shoutout to our intern Marshall for creating an IPM for us! If you want to come see these ladybug larvae in person, DM or email us to signup for our next public tour Saturday May 7th, at 11am!
