The Need: Produce is expensive to purchase for families and food assistance programs alike, meaning that many programs can not afford the the healthy fruits and vegetables that families need

Our answer: Ichthys (Greek for “fish”) Farms is the boldest initiative of SOS Feeding Ministry: a sustainable aquaponic farm designed to combat food insecurity with high-efficiency, low-footprint agriculture.

Fueled by aquaponic technology and rooted in Christian witness, this closed-loop farm transforms fish waste into nutrient-rich water, fueling the growth of organic produce and herbs year-round.

It provides abundant physical nourishment to hundreds of local food-insecure families through direct distribution to our participants and partner food assistance programs.

    • The Brains: 2000 Gallon Fish tank system delivers an average 1000lbs of produce weekly.

    • Estimated Annual Yield: 55,000 pounds of organic produce.

    • 1000lbs pounds of fresh tilapia produced with no heavy metals each year donated.

    • Ensures our mission is sustainable long term without relying on government subsidies.

    • Waste up to 80% less water vs traditional farming.

    • Closed-loop, near zero-waste sustainable growing method turns harmful waste from fish breeding into harmless, nutrient rich water for growing plants.

    • Operates on minimal land using vertical growing methods or shipping containers.

    • Scalable for parking lots, flex-use industrial, and urban settings.

    • Year-round production of culturally relevant greens and herbs without using soil.

    • Creates jobs and educational opportunities in agriculture and sustainable farming techniques.

  • Ichthys Farms supports SOS Feeding Ministry’s mission to provide sustainable, Gospel-centered solutions to food insecurity. By donating the entire harvest to families and local feeding partners, this project directly addresses hunger while demonstrating the love of Christ.

    The farm serves as a powerful testimony of what it means when Christians hear and do the will of Christ, who said if we love Him, we will feed His sheep.

  • Aquaponics represents the future of ecological food production.

    With your support, SOS Feeding Ministry can grow thousands of pounds of clean, fresh, culturally appropriate produce while proclaiming the Good News.

    Together, we will sow the seeds of salvation, one meal at a time.
