Welcome to Kountry Fresh by Koss Family Farms! Thanks for checking out our produce! We are growing lettuce and tilapia in our 6,000 sq ft greenhouse year round. Like our Facebook page to see pictures and videos of the greenhouse and the process that goes on before the lettuce reaches you! Thanks for supporting local farmers!
A little bit about our facility. Aquaponics is a hybrid of aquaculture (the raising of fish) and hydroponics (growing vegetables in water now soil). This being said, we can not treat our lettuce with any chemicals that would hurt the fish because the water circulates between the two in a closed loop. Therefore we have to treat for any bugs that may get into our greenhouse with a contact spray and follow up with beneficial bugs. Nothing we use is harmful for us to consume. We do our best to sell you the consumer clean produce by shaking the plants before bagging them. Please wash your lettuce once you get it home to ensure it is clean just like you would from your garden or local farmers market/grocery store!
The only piece of our puzzle keeping us from being Certified Organic is our fish food. Family business with Steve growing, my wife Kathy helping, and my daughter Mindy assisting too.
