Welcome to Bigelow Brook Farm. Don’t let our name fool you – we are an active farm,
as well as a technology consulting and design company focusing on controls and automation
in agricultural and light-industrial industries. Our goal is to assist you with
your existing systems and help to refine and implement technology to simplify your
processes and reduce cost.
Although it may seem like an odd product, we also sell expanded shale - a very lightweight
growing media that is used in the hydroponic and aquaponic industries. Our farming
operation has the capability to store and package large quantities of material,
while our expertise in technology allows us to efficiently distribute the product.

Bigelow Brook Farm is pleased to announce a new partnership with The Aquaponic Source
as a distributor for our expanded shale product line. The Aquaponic Source (www.TheAquaponicSource.com) specializes
in a wide array of products providing complete solutions for the North American
home aquaponic gardener. Along with their on-line store, they also provide an active
and free community site filled with a vast array of aquaponic discussion topics
and information for both novice and experienced users at
www.AquaponicsCommunity.com. “We are extremely excited to be working with
Bigelow Brook Farm and offer expanded shale to the aquaponic and hydroponic gardening
communities. Finally there is a US based grow media with optimal growing properties!”
says Sylvia Bernstein, President of The Aquaponic Source. “We think this will become
a core component in the rapidly expanding soil-less growing market in North America.”
We're Expanding! We are pleased to announce that we have just received the
necessary permits to build a new greenhouse. This 1200 square foot, state-of-the-art
building will utilize some of our latest technology to enhance the building’s energy
conservation, as well as monitor and control an aquaponics growing system.
The greenhouse will be used for our research and development, and it will become
the focal point of the farm as a visitor center. Construction is scheduled
to start this spring and we are eagerly waiting for the ground to thaw!
