Steelhead Springs is building an indoor Rainbow Trout farm in Hampshire, Kane County, Illinois, around a simple belief: good farming should produce exceptional food while taking responsibility for the water, land, and natural resources that make farming possible.
Our recirculating aquaculture system is being designed to continuously filter, treat, oxygenate, and reuse water throughout the farm. Nutrients removed from fish production can be recovered and given another purpose rather than simply discarded, while raising fish indoors allows us to produce food close to the families, restaurants, businesses, and communities we hope to serve.
Steelhead Springs is still being built. When we open, our Rainbow Trout will be harvested to order and available in the packages below, and restaurants and institutions will be able to set up wholesale accounts for recurring orders.
Every order tells us there is a place for responsibly raised American seafood, and we cannot wait to share it with you.
HELP BUILD A BETTER WAY TO FARM
Support American Food Production. Conserve Natural Resources. Bring More Local Food Home.
We believe responsible indoor aquaculture can become one part of a stronger American food system. Our farm alone will not solve the enormous challenges facing agriculture, but every additional source of responsibly produced domestic food makes our communities a little more resilient.
That is what we are building, and we look forward to feeding your family and your business.
