Raised in
cold water.
Sold the same day.

Rainbow and brown trout grown in limestone-fed raceways at 48°F — the same temperature they've always been, the same valley they've always known.

74,000 trout raised per year

in glacier-fed raceways

0°F

Year-round water temperature — never warmer, never colder.

The limestone aquifer that feeds our raceways has held at 48°F for two centuries. That cold is what makes the flesh firm, the fat distributed evenly, the flavor clean. We can't replicate it and we don't try to.

Antibiotics. Not once since 1986.

Clean cold water and space to move means healthy fish. We've never needed antibiotics and we've kept records to prove it. When a buyer asks, we show the logbooks. No hedging, no asterisk.

We harvest in the morning, pack on ice by 10am, and ship same-day to metro delivery zones. Chefs who order by Thursday have fish for Friday service. The supply chain is short by design.

Trout raised here every year.

That number has been consistent for fifteen years. We're not scaling to a factory and we're not shrinking. 74,000 fish is the right number for this valley, this water, and the people we sell to directly.
