The only Eco-Certified Sturgeon Farm in America

Tsar Nicoulai's sturgeon farm in Wilton, CA is where all the magic happens. We've been raising fish in pristine waters under the California sunshine since 1984. All of our artisanal handcrafted products are carefully produced without the use of antibiotics, growth hormones, GMOs, biocides, radiation, or bioengineering.

 

Aquaculture + hydroponics

In partnership with UC Davis, we have created an aquaponics filtration system that keeps the sturgeon waters naturally clean and allows us to grow organic greens powered by sturgeon byproducts. We are the first sturgeon farm in the world to break ground on this technology.

 

Aquaponics saves energy, land, and water

  • Systems can be built in urban areas or where farmland is not available.

  • Aquaponics uses 1/3 of the energy other farming methods use.

  • The only water loss is what is evaporated or absorbed by plants.

Through this effort, we have been able to reduce our waste by 70-80%.
