If you wish to recieve prawns this year we can see if we can make arrangments with an out of town supplier.
Please check back as we will be rebuilding our facility for the 2011 season. Thank you for your continued support.

The prawn tanks have arrived,

Well after a month and half of work the equipment has finally be taken down and moved to its new home In North Carolina and the work has begun to the freshwater prawn facility in Virginia. Turned out to be alot of work to take the stuff apart im sure it will be even more fun to put it back together. Oh well they never said farming was easy. And certainly not aqua farming. So we will soon start to repair the Virginia recirculating tank setup so check back often or follow us on facebook or twitter.

Picking up the pieces

Well we are slowly making progress, We moved out all the juvenile prawn we could but we suffered heavy losses. We were able to bring up enough Freshwater prawn from the hatchery in texas to satisfy just about all of farmers orders that we had. Aquaculture of texas will be able to bring up more prawn in June to fulfill any remaing orders. So email us if you need prawn. We will only have prawn for pick-up in Virginia.
