Welcome to Karoo Aquaponics Merweville

Transforming the Future of Sustainable Agriculture

Located in the Central Karoo district of the Western Cape province, with its extreme and harsh climate, lies Karoo Aquaponics Merweville, an oasis of lush, green and soft running water.

Our innovative, low maintenance, energy efficient aquaponics farm creates a symbiotic environment where fish and plants thrive together, producing fresh, organic, nutrient-rich products using  precious mineral-rich borehole water in a closed-loop system.

 Follow and engage with us to see how aquaponics can enhance your gardening or farming practices and help you achieve a more sustainable future for food production.

About Us

Dirk and Sam Koen’s decision to move to Merweville at the beginning of 2023, was made for health reasons. In a quest to slow down, live off the grid and to grow their own fresh produce they loved the aquaponics system.

What we Do

Fresh Produce

With over 1120m2 of surface area under production, planting in an aquaponics system with its various different media beds, gives the versatility to produce what customers require.

Worm Farm

At Karoo Aquaponics Merweville, our focus is on sustainable farming practices. That's why we've incorporated a worm farm into our aquaponics system.

Boschveld Chickens

A cross between a Venda, Ovambo and Matabele breed, these indigenous birds play a crucial role in our quest to produce healthy, nutrient-dense organic foods.
