Featured Projects

Dahlia Campus for Health and Well-Being – Denver, CO

In 2015 we designed and built a 5,400 sq ft aquaponic greenhouse that is still running strong. The property is owned and operated by WellPower, Colorado’s largest community mental health center.

Understanding that food is the first form of medicine, WellPower had the vision to grow a wide variety of fresh, nutritious food in the community.

The greenhouse provides early season starts and nutrient rich fish water to the outdoor farm, while growing leafy greens, collards, herbs and fish year round.

TapRoot Farms is more than just an aquaponic greenhouse. The family grows delicious veggies and fruit, raises free-range hens for eggs, and pastured animals for meat.

With over 280 soil farming acres, 140 CSA shares, and a resounding 70% organic transition, TapRoot Farms does an excellent job of demonstrating the co-existence of regenerative soil practices alongside sustainable aquaponic farming.
