What is Kirby Peak Ranch?
The plant and fish culture systems, the encompassing greenhouse and all related structures are designed with low-energy consumption, efficiency, expandability and practicality in mind. While the facility will be a showplace demonstrating numerous plant and fish growing systems, each component is designed to be profitable on its own. Additionally, recycling of nutrients, waste and all by-products of the operation are incorporated in the design. Introductory guided tours allow visitors to wander among the lush plants while learning about the technologies of soilless plant culture, aquaculture and the combination of these methods, aquaponics. Specialized 2-3 day workshops and conferences provide a structured classroom and a hands-on learning experience and the intensive training program offers enthusiastic students a unique opportunity to learn all facets of this 21st century means of growing food while living on the park-like agri-campus for a 3 month session. Additionally, Kirby Peak Ranch is home to Mother Lode Llama Company, which offers a "Lunch with the Llamas" program and packing trips. |
