South River Aquaponics is an organic, sustainable indoor farming operation based in Montrose, Colorado. The company uses an aquaponics system that combines fish farming and hydroponic plant production within a 14,040 square foot greenhouse, growing spinach and basil in raft tanks while raising Nile Tilapia in connected fish tanks. In addition to produce, the facility includes a 20 by 40 foot mushroom den dedicated to shiitake and maitake mushrooms, and it features vertical grow towers designed for garlic, shallot, and onion production, enabling multiple crops within a compact vertical footprint. The approach aims to deliver a cleaner-tasting fish and provides a base for developing organic fertilizers and cloning gel through its waste management and innovation efforts. The business serves customers seeking organic, locally produced produce and seafood while advancing education and community support in the region.
