Rocky Rhode will commence Spring 2016!

Persistence pays off ! Nine months have passed since the idea for Rocky Rhode was born. The great ocean state of Rhode Island will be granting the lease on the first of the new year! Fellow farmers, friends in the aquaculture industry, and family - we thank you for all your support through this start-up phase. Enjoy the holidays and we look forward to all of you volunteering come springtime. Cheers!
