We restored three old hatching ponds on the farm a few years ago. The ponds are fed from the stream that runs through our land. We buy in rainbow trout as fingerlings at about 2 or 4 ounces from a hatchery down the road in Watchet and grow about a thousand in the ponds at a time, most of which we release into the large lake on our farm.
We either sell fresh to order or fresh frozen. Our trout come in various sizes but sell at £5 per lb (after gutting).
We have almost finished building a smokery and will then be selling smoked trout fillets, fresh or fresh frozen.
