Do you want to provide your family with food for the rest of their lives, or spring for that used car that you will have to replace again in a few years?
Interestingly, they cost about the same amount.
This total amount includes the Aquaponics University Portable Farms® Aquaponics Systems Course© which even has the PFAS Technology Kit as part of the purchase price.
Here’s the full cost breakdown of a backyard aquaponics system
You may even have some of the materials on hand or have access to recycled materials at a reduced cost. Even if you have to pay full retail price for everything, an operating aquaponics farm is a fantastically good deal. Plus, a Portable Farms® Aquaponics System is infinitely expandable because of it modular design. You can expand it and begin selling the excess to create a small income.
(Image above) This is a Portable Farms Aquaponics System installed on a patio next to a house.
Imagine a 12 ft wide lean-to greenhouse 24 ft long off the south side of your house. In this arrangement the Portable Farms® Aquaponics Systems is a carbon negative installation because it contributes more energy to the house than it consumes on an annual basis. There are installations with wood burning stoves inside them to keep them from freezing in very cold climates. Every installation is different and unique. You are only limited by your imagination and your budget.
In commercial installations, our foreman, with a crew of four, can build 30 operating Modules that are 5ft x 40ft in one week. Building a module is not rocket science and the construction is straight simple carpentry and the Aquaponics University Portable Farms® Aquaponics Systems Course© has pictures and step-by-step instructions about how to build the Portable Farms Modules. You can have your own aquaponics farm up and running in a matter of weeks and be enjoying fresh home-grown greens is a little as five weeks after completion. Now THAT’S exciting.
Where will you be investing your money? In your family’s health and future or in that used car that will depreciate the moment you pay for it? Take our Aquaponics University Course now and build an aquaponics farm that will be producing food for your family within a couple of months. That food will continue to be there for your family FOREVER.

I would like to know the full prices of:
A unit to feed 8 people
A unit to feed 16 people.
Thank you
Hazel,
The cost of a Portable Farms installation to feed 8 people will be in the range of US$4,500 to US$7,000 depending on how fancy you want to make it. The enclosed area needs to be ~ 350sf. To feed 16 people double the size of the space. But build a building to house the larger installation will only add about US$3,000.
I trust this information is helpful.

I want to know of setting up a small system in Kathmandu, Nepal. Without Greenhouse. Maybe to save cost, we can start with two.

Can portable farms be housed indoors?
Are they all the same sizes?
Sean,
The Portable Farms® Aquaponics Systems can be housed indoors. They have been installed in garages, basements and even a living room. The size is determined by the available space. Most Grow Trays are 4, 5, or 6 ft wide and only limited in length to a maximum of 200 sq ft total per Grow Tray.
We trust this helps is planning your project. You may want to seriously consider the Aquaponics Course to get started.
