We make delicious, sustainable paddlefish caviar. Every part of the process, from spawning fry to making caviar, is under our supervision. We “ranch” our fish in open water for 10 years. This gives them the opportunity to forage and self select their preferred diet. We call it Free Range Caviar. You can taste the difference.

We sell yellow perch only on our fish farm. Most perch are sold when they are 1 1/2 to 2 years old and are a minimum of 5″-8″ long, although some will exceed 8.” All fish possess a fish health certificate and are fully feed trained to eat fish food. If VHS testing is needed to cross a state line, we can have that done as well, but it does take time and there would be an additional charge for that. Our fish are inspected and monitored by staff and a fish biologist to insure the highest quality fish possible. We do not have the ability to haul large quantities of fish long distances, but can haul a couple hundred fish for a reasonable distance.

Freshwater Farms of Ohio was the first commercial indoor RAS raising rainbow trout in the world, and is now the longest operating RAS operation in the US. Economically raised from eggs in re-purposed and solar-heated poultry buildings since 1986, grown to market size indoors and in gravel quarry lakes, all trout are then processed onsite in HAACP facilities (since 1993) with FDA and State of Ohio Ag inspection. Clean Water and Clean Feed makes for Clean Fish at Freshwater Farms. As a part of our eco-friendly facility, we reutilize outflow water for irrigation of vegetable produce and flower crops growing in our RAINBOW project (Reutilizing And Intergrating Nutrient Byproducts Of Wastewater). Freshwater Farms has prior experience selling wholesale to 40+ accounts for 16 years, although since 2010, 95% of sales have been local from the farm retail market. Expansion of production is underway to allow more off-farm sales in the near future.

OceanArc Technologies (formerly The Ocean’s Friend Aquaculture) was founded in June 2015 when CEO, Ashtyn Reed Chen, was just a fresh biochemical engineering grad from the University of Southern California. Unsatisfied with just working in the chemicals industry and with a real passion about producing sustainable food to combat Earth’s growing population and climate change, he started this aquaculture farm part-time with his family in Ohio to fulfill his love of marine biology and saltwater shrimp. Having fresh saltwater shrimp in central Ohio caught on rather quickly and production expanded along with crawfish, fish and aquaponic veggies production. As of October 2022, the farm (out of 4 facilities in Ohio) produces almost 2500 lbs of saltwater shrimp a month for wholesale and retail accounts, in addition to getting involved in seafood distribution and processing. Ashtyn, with his family background in the restaurant industry, has taken another step of becoming an investor/partner several restaurant groups and supermarkets across the Midwest to more easily distribute his farm products along with those of other fellow farmers. He is focused on shortening the food supply chain, specifically for seafood, across the US to allow as many fellow Americans access to truly fresh domestic food (cooked or raw) with the least miles traveled.

We are PortFish, Ltd, a non-profit 501-c3 that supports local food.

We have hybrid stiped bass and sell commercially. We started because I wanted to know where my food comes from and wanted it to be USA grown. Later on in late 2023 will have large mouth bass.
I am a woman in business and wanted and wanted to know how my food was fed. We feed fish feed that is for commercial fish industry and they grow well on it. We are out there everyday to make sure we have a good product to sell. The fish taste great!!
