Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics.
Why Swanky Roots?
Fresh, local, year‑round greens grown in Billings and ready when you are. Here's what makes us different and why it matters.
Local food benefits
Fresher taste and longer shelf life
Your greens travel minutes, not days, so they stay crisp longer in your fridge.
Supports the local economy
Every purchase helps a family farm and local jobs in our community.
Fewer miles, smaller footprint
Shorter supply chains cut down on transportation waste.
Transparency you can see
Visit our greenhouse, meet the team, and see exactly how your food is grown.
How we grow (aquaponics)
Uses a fraction of the water
Our closed‑loop system recirculates water, dramatically reducing water use compared to field‑grown greens.
No synthetic pesticides
We focus on plant health and cleanliness, not chemical sprays.
Clean, controlled environment
From seed to harvest, your greens are grown indoors for consistent quality and food safety.
Natural nutrient cycle
Fish and beneficial microbes provide balanced nutrition for vigorous plants.
Consistent quality, any weather
Snowing or 100 degrees, we harvest fresh for you year‑round.
What this means for you
Better taste, crunch, and color
More reliable availability week after week
Less waste at home thanks to longer shelf life
