USA Facilities

Troutlodge operates eight facilities in the Pacific Northwest, USA (Washington and Oregon). These facilities are located in both eastern and western Washington, as well as in Oregon. We use each farm's unique characteristics (water temperature, water flow, geographical location) to help to meet our growing production demands and to maximize the quality of our products, including both eyed eggs and live fish. All of these facilities utilize crystal-clear, pathogen-free water from natural springs. Trout and arctic charr thrive in this healthy environment. All facilities are carefully protected by a comprehensive biosecurity program that is designed to limit the possibility of disease-transmission from outside.

Farms in Washington State are located near Sumner, Tacoma, Hoodsport, Ephrata, and Soap Lake, and the farm in Oregon is located in Hood River.

The proximity of the spawning and incubation facilities to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport enables us to ship eggs to destinations around the globe in a safe, efficient, and cost-effective manner.

Within these facilities, we also maintain a fish health laboratory and a number of wet-lab facilities for use in its Genetic Selection Program and Research & Development efforts. Staffed with a dedicated team of some of the world's leading experts in fish genetics and health, these facilities enable us to fulfill our mission of providing innovative and sustainable solutions to our loyal customers and to the aquaculture industry.

In addition to the sites in the USA, we also have freshwater operations in the Isle of Man (Europe) and Chile, and marine operations in Florida and Hawaii.

Note: For biosecurity reasons, tours are not permitted at any of the production facilities, but the public is welcome at our U-Fish facility, Bill's Fishin' Hole, near Orting. Also, please feel free to explore our Photo Gallery for a look inside our production facilities.
