Oko Farms’ activities began in 2013 as a volunteer-run initiative with the conversion of a rundown 2,500 square foot lot in Bushwick, Brooklyn into The Oko Farms Aquaponics Farm & Education Center. The farm was built in collaboration with the Moore Street, Brooklyn community and a diverse group of individuals interested in bringing an outdoor aquaponics farm to Brooklyn.
The word “oko” pays homage to our founder’s Yoruba heritage. Oko is a Yoruba word which loosely translates to farm in English. A more accurate definition of the word is a province or place where agriculture is at the center of socio-economic life, daily activities, and cultural traditions.
