Oko Farms

Oko Urban Farms, popularly known as Oko Farms, is an Aquaponics Farm and Education Company in Brooklyn, New York.

We built our first farm in 2013 when we converted an abandoned lot in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn into the Oko Farms Aquaponics Education center - NYC's first outdoor (and only publicly accessible) aquatic farm. The farm, located on Moore Street, cultivates a variety of freshwater fish and vegetables together in a closed-loop recirculating ecosystem known as AQUAPONICS.

We utilize aquaponics because it allows us to cultivate both freshwater fish and vegetables while saving water.

The Moore Street farm was developed through a collaboration between Oko Farms, GreenThumb and the Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation (BEDC).
