“The secret to our healthy fish success? Three generations of pride and family work at the hatchery insure your fish are not grown in tanks all their lives. They thrive in ponds on our family farm.” – Steve
A notice to our out of state customers
If you intend to stock water that is not in Ohio, please call us before you make a trip to our hatchery. To transport fish across the state line from one state to another, there are special permits and certifications you will need. To violate these laws may put both you and us in violation of the Lacey Act. The Lacey Act defines the law pertaining to the transportation of live animals or fish, in this case, between states. To be in violation of this federal law means thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees and possible jail time.
A notice to our Pennsylvania customers: For customers taking game fish into PA, contact us first so we can go over the requirements for transporting these fish into your state.

NOW SELLING – GRASS FED FARM RAISED BEEF!
Steve is happy to announce the newest branch of the Fender’s business. We have been raising our own cattle for many years, and are now offering beef for sale at the hatchery.
These cattle were two years old and grass raised up until the last month and a half, at which point we grain fed them to give the perfect amount of texture to the beef. This is available at the hatchery for pickup and is packaged by Sugar Valley Meats. Bred and raised on our farm from start to finish, then butchered fresh in February – much like our fish, this is a quality that we have monitored from the beginning and can ensure our customers get only the best.
Please call for prices on beef!
