The farm supplies more than 90% of the live fish for angling in its area of operation.

As a by-product, the hatchery also produces a couple of tons per month of table products. All fish, except for cold-smoked products, are supplied fresh and vacuum packed for added shelf life. Table products include:

whole rounds • deboned rounds • fillets • hot oak-smoked • cold oak-smoked.

    “Whether you’re a fly fisherman or not, the picturesque Giants Cup will full your cup. It is peaceful and calming and perfect to take you away from the unsettling times. Lots of walks, hikes, exploring, birding and unwinding to do! I recommend this spot for families, photographers, fishermen, hikers, birders, nature lovers etc etc!”- Sarah Shuttleworth

    “Absolutely secluded beauty and tranquility!!! Just make sure you have a high vehicle to handle the road leading to the cabins. Right on the border of a nature reserve with lots of hiking trails and easy access to their own private fishing dam if you like trout fishing.”- Dillion Fletcher
