Off-Grid Homesteading 

with Aquaponic CEA

Build a Future of Health & Wellness with 

Food, Energy, Water & Financial Security 


Don Sherman

Co-owner of FLP Acres Aquaponics Farm, licensed professional engineer (civil/environmental), aquatic farmer, and hemp grower. He has over 30 years of experience in project development and execution for over $20 billion USD of urban and rural infrastructure across the U.S. and over a dozen countries.

Don's public, private, and philanthropic client projects range from environmental management (air, water, and waste), transportation (land, air, and water), conventional and renewable energy production and storage, to IT/telecom/broadband networks for communication, facilities management, and security.

His first farm experience was cutting hay in college in Upstate NY. Living in the Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest, he sited and drilled groundwater wells ranging from 100,000 to 10 million gallons for water supply and irrigation.

Throughout his career, he was involved in planning, designing, and optimizing water supply and zero-discharge biological treatment and reuse systems using similar processes as the FLP Acres aquaponics system.

Whether small or large-scale, virtually every project involved land-use compatibility, environmental stewardship, and energy independence. As energy prices soar and supply chain disruptions leave grocery shelves empty, Don emphasizes planning to assure healthy, locally abundant food whether in the city or countryside.

Don is available to advise, coach, and train individuals and entrepreneurs in building a lifestyle of family and community sustainability, focusing on food, water, and energy security.

He can assist with project visioning & feasibility, planning & permitting, design & construction, startup & operations, as well as renovation & expansion.
