| Herby Radmann created a unique fish
farm practice, the Bullfrog Fish Farm, by adapting basic aquaculture
principles to his land and water resources. After seven years of
research, development and a positive environmental assessment, he
began raising fish in 1994. Radmann now raises 15,000 to 20,000
pounds of rainbow trout annually.
Radmann operates Bullfrog Fish Farm based on his vision
of agricultural sustainability, from his use of water - pumped into
a gravity-flow system to raise fish, then filtered back into the
ground via a wetland - to a natural disposal system for discarding
fish processing waste. He strives for the tastiest and healthiest
fish and developed a local market niche for his product, proclaiming
his rainbow trout and smoked fish the best in the area. Indeed,
his "Eat My Fish" slogan is ubiquitous in his advertising. In addition
to fresh water fish, he offers recreation, from pond-side fishing
to educational group tours. To demonstrate how he values his rural
community, he developed a "limited liability company" so his workers
and the community can invest in the company.
