As an added bonus, if you attend all eight Winter Market dates you will receive an Easton Farmers’ Market canvas market tote at the end of the season. Be sure to check-in each week at the Info Tent to register.

So What is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics is the combination of recirculating aquaculture and hydroponics. Both fish and plants are grown in one body of water in a closed loop system. It is a method of farming requiring about 1/10th of the water and a fraction of the land used in conventional farming. The fish waste in aquaponics provides a source of nutrients for the plants. Beneficial bacteria convert the toxic fish waste into a form of nutrients usable by the plant. By the plants consuming the nutrient they are cleaning the water for the fish. As a result, Aquaponics solves the problem of large scale waste disposal and frequent water discharge and refilling that the aquaculture industries experiences. It also, eliminates the use of the expensive, non-organic, man-made nutrients used in hydroponics. Unlike conventional farming chemical fertilizers/pesticides are not necessary, and therefore they are not used.

Mushoom Macaroni & Cheese
From: Girl Gone Gourmet
|
"There’s nothing more comforting than macaroni and cheese – this version has meaty mushrooms, bacon, and cavatappi pasta all baked up in a creamy gruyere cheese sauce, so if you’re in need of some indulgent comfort food add this mushroom macaroni and cheese to your must-make list."
