Lake Zurich Couple Enters Online Grant Contest to Fuel Aquaponics Farm

Cultivating Change, a grant program that gives local farms resources to upgrade, invest in and implement sustainable technology, is awarding a total of $75,000 in funding to a handful of winners across the nation — with $20,000 to be decided by an online popular vote. Purewater Aquaponics, a Lake Zurich, Chicago farm owned by Teresa Johnson, tells the Chicago Tribune that she would use the money to add a new greenhouse and a barn that would house saltwater shrimp.
