Portable Farms

I recently came across a show on YouTube called the Next 500. According to their site, it “takes you inside the most innovative and captivating companies set to one day emerge as Fortune 500 powerhouses.” This episode was about a former executive coach who turned his gardening and fish-raising hobby into a business that produces sustainable farming supplies.

Colle Davis, the inventor of Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems, majored in the field of Renewable Natural Resources in 1972, at the University of California at Davis, and he’s been refining Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems for the past 37 years.

After a career as a successful entrepreneur, businessman and consultant, Colle has always made the time to continue his research to reduce the chronic problems of tank sediment, and he discovered a new pumping system that solved all the clogging problems in the fish tank and made it possible for the system to automatically remove the sediments from the fish tank without clogging the pump to grow healthier fish and vegetables. This new system made it possible to fully automate the farm using his own unique engineering, so that anyone, anywhere, could raise their own food.
