Continental Organics
Continental Organics is a service-disabled Veteran Owned Small Business. They are committed to producing fresh, locally grown food using a combination of aquaponic, hydroponic, and conventional organic field farming practices. Aquaponics is a soil-less farming system in which fish and plants grow together in a mutually benefical cycle. Fish are fed a vegetable-based organic feed, which transforms into CO2 and nitrogen-rich waste. The gas and water, which stimulate plant growth, flows to greenhouses for plants to take in, and then returns, nitrogen-free, to the fish. The system recycles 90% of its water and thus produces little waste.
The farm is located near a former dairy farm 15 miles north of West Point in the beautiful Hudson Valley. The company is a certified 8-A ; Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (“SDVOSB”). Sixty percent of their employees are Veterans.
