"I want to say thank you for a fantastic and informative week/end. This has definitely turned my excitement level of starting an aquaponics farm up a few notches. The training was a great balance of sitting and listening to hands on learning and self observation. I appreciate your candor and frankness about the complexity and simplicity of starting a aquaponic system. I look forward to working with you all and learning from you all in the future...near if I have my way!" Navid, Huntsville, AL
"Well what can I say but thank you to the entire team. John and Rebecca.....thank you for creating a learning environment that was fun and relaxed. I have been to many conferences during my career as an educator, and this conference was one if not the best I have ever attended." Stephen, Muskogee, Oklahoma
"I am writing to say a big thank you for the superb way you guys hosted the aquaponics workshop. You guys fed us well, taught us well, and made the workshop very memorable." Benjamin, Germantown, MD
"I just wanted to express my gratitude again to you, John, and Kathleen for hosting such a great workshop. Many of the questions I had were answered and now I have a better idea what it will take when I finally move forward and build a greenhouse and a system. I also wanted to say that I think you have a great company and that the work you are doing is commendable. Not only in the education of people so that they can switch to a more sustainable method of food production, but also the mission system idea is wonderful (SO many people in this country and around the world need a better source of food)." Mike, Stoughton, WI
"Just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you again for a wonderful training experience this past weekend. Jen and I thoroughly enjoyed the training, your honesty and insight and the opportunity to meet and network with other aquaponics newcomers. We came away from the weekend more excited and energized than ever to pursue our vision--thanks to you! Most importantly, we have found professionals that we can trust." Jennifer and Jason, Wyoming
"Again you both should be commended for your years of services to such a worthwhile cause. It takes courage passion and conviction to change the world and its clear to me that you posses all three." Paul Phelps, Wisconsin

"It was a great workshop. Your presentations answered so many questions that have been nagging at me for a long time." Ruth, Ann Arbor, MI
"That was a great workshop. I left trying to keep my head upright so no information would spill out. That last day was pretty valuable just to tie everything together. Overall I think you had a great format for the presentation and for getting the information out." Geoff Neyman, Colorado
"I just wanted to thank you again on running a very informative course. There was, for me, just the right mix of "hands on" and classroom. Thank you for you efforts.
