Here is the preliminary list of "Dry Goods" companies that will be at the Frag Farmer's Market this year. I still have a few "might come outs" but these are all the confirmed companies. We have some super cool additions to the list this year! Agcore Aquatic Creations Boston Aqua Farms...

Biggest single day one in the whole country, at least that what some of the vendors have told me. A nice mix of big names and hobbyists. I have gone to some of the big shows and I think there are more corals at the FFM than at those. Don't get me wrong, RAP and MACNA are great shows, the FFM...

Here is the preliminary list of coral vendors for the 2020 FFM. This is only the coral vendors. I have a bunch of companies that are coming out as well and keep adding more each week. I'll post the list of "dry goods" places that will be there in a bit when I iron out a few more details. Once...

The 13th annual Frag Farmer's Market will be held this coming March 7th at E.O. Smith High School in Storrs CT. Doors will open at 10am this year to give you an extra hour of coral madness! It has grown into the biggest single day swap in the country with close to 100 vendors - with a great mix...

A few people have asked about the snow predictions and the FFM. Looks like we are going to get a few inches, ending in the morning, no big deal for people from the northeast and certainly no reason to hunker down like the world is ending... THE FFM IS ON!

Only a few days to go before the biggest single day swap in the whole US! Anyone even close to CT should give the Frag Farmer's Market a shot. If you have never come out, you will not be disappointed. With close to 80 coral vendors, (over 100 total), there are more corals at the FFM than at any...

The eye candy that is being posted up in the FB group has been CRAZY. I can't seem to convince the vendors to post here so here is a sampling of what has been posted there by sellers at the FFM to show off what they are bringing... Less than a week to go, 100+ vendors, not a show to miss!!!

Here is the map for the day (as of now...)

A few people have asked me if they can grab a Moai but not have to do the Facebook aspect of it. Being someone who is not all that FB connected (I only use it for the FFM and reef related things), I understand. If people would like to do the Moai contest, but not have to join or post on FB...

The 2019-2020 FFM Coral Topiary Contest! Jon Simmons from Boston Aqua Farms is in the process of custom making me 50 of these Moai (~4" tall) to send home with 50 different people at the FFM this year. Your challenge is to take the Moai home and turn it into something amazing by growing coral...

The event started as a chance for me and my students to host a frag swap at the school, promote aquaculture in the...

Well, I'm back up again after a long night of set-up. Despite the weather, more than 1/2 the vendors came to set-up last night and the other half, minus one or two, will be here this morning. We got no weather, other than rain yesterday and the school is all set to host the 11th annual FFM...

Weather report for up here looks like we should be good. Rain on Friday, a little snow overnight (a couple inches?) and then it is out for Saturday morning. We are good to go with the FFM- FRAG ON! Everyone drive safe!
