NAACs new direction is focusing on a family farm. It has been the dream of the owners for many years to become socially and economically self-sufficient. The owners have years of experience, including business management, construction management, non-profit management and general customer service.
The new direction of the family farm will focus on Aquaponics and Hydroponics greenhouses as well as bamboo with chickens, vermiculture, sheep, goats, horses, and a few cows.
