Our farms meet the highest level of industry Best Practice standards. We also invite and fund additional scrutiny and auditing to ensure that we are constantly adjusting and improving our practises; so you can have confidence in the salmon you’re eating.
Our fish are fed a wholesome diet that contains everything that salmon need to be healthy and strong. Essentially it is made up of proteins, oils, grains and minerals. Our feed supplier has reduced reliance on wild caught fish to ensure we are not taking fish from our precious oceans to provide aquaculture feed. Rest assured it does not contain any GMO’s or antibiotics.
We operate a hatchery located within the Isaac Conservation Area, near Christchurch. The hatchery is spring fed from the Selwyn River flowing deep in the Canterbury alluvial aquifers. Our salmon are then grown in the glacier-fed waters of the hydro-canals in the Mackenzie Country, not far from Twizel.
Doing only what’s right. We respect Nature, we respect the fish. Our goal is to work with Nature and follow its lead. Respecting the place, the water, with our ethics and our commitment to sustainability. Always.
We are 100% New Zealand, Aoraki Origin. Aoraki products are proud to carry the FernMark; formal government recognition of our provenance.
All the carefully selected premium quality fish that we smoke comes from BAP – Best Aquaculture Practices certified Farms & Process Plant; part of GFSI- Global Food Safety Initiative, recognised program.
