Collection: Smoke In Chimney Trout

WHO is SMOKE IN CHINMEY?

We are Ty and Shannon Walker and our lively kids are Eve (4) and Gratton (2), our property is in Craig County and we are surrounded by the beautiful Jefferson and Washington National Forests. We love trout! After studying organic farming and a few years working with beef/dairy and pigs the opportunity to move to this property came up by the grace of God. After taking a big leap of faith we moved here and began farming trout, a practice that surprisingly has very little information on it. Because our system is a 1930s gravity-fed no-electricity water system, Ty was able to make the most headway after reading some very old books on the ways people used to raise trout, more in connection with the natural land. We are honored to be here growing fish and are learning new things every day.

We love our small community in New Castle and thank God that we get to enjoy this mountain life. We also love our little herd of dairy cows and goats, pigs and chickens. In our few hours and days of free time we love fly fishing, laying on warm cows that smell like sweet grass, sunbathing, spending time with family and cooking and eating amazing food. The rest of the time we run around like crazy people! We are also developing a farming spiritual internship to teach and uplift God's wisdom and ways in prayer, farming, and food. Please come and see us!

We are passionate about clean nourishing food and are active members of the Weston Price Foundation. We are honored to be connected with Polyface and to serve their loyal customers new and old with a delicious and quality fish to enjoy.
