Our mission is to establish and sustainably operate a commercial urban farm within the GTA using aquaponic, organic, and vertical farming methods to increase both production and nutrition.

QUEEN CITY FARMS will grow micro greens, salad and leafy greens, as well a bamboo (wood floor panelling), in a symbiotic aquaponic system also raising tilapia, lobster and prawns providing nutritious, locally grown and raised food to the community, using production methods that maximize production output by utilizing unique methods and techniques, vertical farming (turning 10,000 sqf warehouse or similar open concept building, into 27,000 sqf of growing space) and organic growing methods, all increasing the production up to 130% and reducing the costs significantly.

Aquaponics is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture, the raising of aquatic animals such tilapia, lobster & prawns in tanks with hydroponics -- the cultivating micro greens, salad greens and other plants in water all together in a symbiotic environment.

In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponics system where the by-products, the nutrient rich waste water, are broken down by nitrogen-fixing bacteria into nitrates which are utilized by the plants as nutrients, the water is then recalculated back to the aquaculture system.

QUEEN CITY FARMS has spent the past year researching, discussing with professionals, furthering the development of a working business model, the design of an aquaponic system and the facility itself for both in Toronto and in remote northern Canadian communities.

Our Mandate:

To grow 100% Organic & to utilize growing space, growing methods, technologies, techniques and employees to create a unique urban farm within the GTA providing fresh organic produce and seafood, as well as bamboo decorative plants, flooring and home decor at affordable price.
