“fish and whistle, whistle and fish”
Ohio's largest indoor fish hatchery, and producer of wholesome rainbow trout fillets and smoked trout. The fish are raised from egg to adult in solar-heated barns using clean water and feeds. Our specialties are hand-cut boneless fillets as well as smoked trout products, seasoned trout patties, marinated and pre-seasoned fillets, and bulk seasonings made from scratch. Our products are made with all natural ingredients and contain no artificial preservatives. Our farm retail store is open year round, Monday through Saturday, 10-6 or you may order by phone or on-line(www.fwfarms.com). Other local products, including honey, maple syrup, stone-ground flours and pancake mixes are featured. The fish farm is open for public self-guided tours as well as for-fee large group tours, and includes family activities such as trout-feeding, displays of native fishes and a sturgeon petting zoo. The Ohio Fish & Shrimp Festival is held at the farm every third Saturday in September (this year: Sept. 17, 2005).

From the old downtown Monument Square in Urbana, take Main Street (Hwy. 68) north and one mile north of the Urbana Airport (Grimes Field). Fly-ins can call for free shuttle from airport to farm.
