This week, I chat with Ty Walker from Smoke In Chimneys, a Virginia rainbow trout farm. Ty has a great story to share on how he and his family started their trout farm, how farm-raised fish and wild fish can and should coexist, and the importance of faith. We’ll also talk about how Ty built a great partnership with White Oak Pastures. Learning about how Ty’s faith has impacted his business was super cool and refreshing to hear. In times of struggle and doubt, Ty relied on his faith and some pretty cool things started happening.
