Sunburst Trout Farms

About

Sunburst Trout Farm has been a family-operated business for over 70 years. With dedication spanning three generations, Sunburst Trout Farm is renowned for its innovative and modern trout production.

The farm has pioneered techniques in smoking, boneless filleting, red trout processing, and caviar preparation, pushing the boundaries of commercial trout farming. Their diverse offerings include pate, boneless fillets prepared “en papillote,” encrusted and marinated fillets, and even trout jerky. Don’t pass up their exquisite pimento goat cheese, which complements their hickory-smoked trout perfectly.

Sunburst Trout Farm has also mastered the art of cold smoking, offering Scottish-style trout using premium quality fillets. Visitors are invited to book a tour of the farm and shop fresh fish and accompanying products at Sunburst Market. Whether you are a culinary enthusiast or simply love quality food, Sunburst Trout Farm promises a unique (and delicious) experience that honors tradition while embracing innovation.
