I don't like aquaponic tomatoes, either, but it's probably the variety 
rather than the fact that they were grown aquaponically. A lot of the 
varieties of produce developed for greenhouses aren't very tasty.

I'm two miles out of a small town, but the 'rural woods' starts right at the 
edge of town. About 10 acres of my pasture is open, and 25 acres are wooded 
with clearings. Even with all the farms, with hayfields, cropland and 
pastures, this county is still mostly wooded; more than half the county is a 
state forest. Pine Creek Gorge (The "Pennsylvania Grand Canyon")  is only a 
few miles from my farm. http://www.visittiogapa.com/
