About St. Andrew's Fish Farm
Our History
Founded in 2023, St. Andrew's Fish Farm, LLC is a Veteran-Owned Small Business located in St. Mary's, KS. We are committed to creating quality fish products containing Asian Carp and various other river and ocean fish. Asian Carp are now referred by the Fish & Wildlife Agency as "Copi" (pronounced "koe-pee"). This is short for "copious", meaning large in quantity or number. Copi have incredible reproduction capabilities and are able to grow up to 100 pounds. In fact, they're officially an invasive species.
Initially, the Copi will be brought from the Mississippi/Missouri Rivers and tributaries to help aid the Fish & Wildlife Agency/Department of Natural Resources in their battle to rid the nation's waterways of this problematic species.
Gregg Hochderffer is the owner and president of St. Andrew's Fish Farm, LLC. He spent 20 years in the military (Navy and Army National Guard), received a B.A. in History from California State University at Chico, and has 5 years experience in manufacturing for Royal Canin. He is currently pursuing Master Gardener certification.
Our Products
The St. Andrew's business model is to produce a multitude of quality fish products that will use our marketing label of "Holy Copi".
In Stage 1, our first product is Holy Copi Organic Liquid Fish Fertilizer. It is a premium hydrolysate (natural fermentation). It is currently available in quart containers for $10 and gallon containers for $35. Backyard gardeners and small organic farms are our customer base. The product is sold online and at various retail outlets that sell garden accessories.
The Stage 2 development phase of the company will produce Holy Copi Fish Oil for pet food and Holy Copi Fish Fillets for human consumption.
It is our goal to be using the expertise of university researchers to aid us in the development of our fish products. In fact, we plan on having national universities test our products and be a credible resource for our products' capabilities.
Our Future
At St. Andrew's Fish Farm, we are committed to using responsible farming practices that will minimize our environmental impact and to ensuring the long-term sustainability of our aquaculture operations. We will use organic feed and will carefully monitor the water quality to make certain that our fish are healthy and happy.
In Stage 1, the fertilizer processing will be in a 50'x50' half-shelter. During this time, we will constantly endeavor to produce the highest-quality fertilizer via Research & Development.
In Stage 2, we will build 400 fish ponds which will produce up to 40 million pounds of fish annually. The fish ponds will be adjacent to a fertilizer processing facility. We will be using a 'Trav-Lift' Crane for harvesting, something that is currently not being used at fish farms; thus, using minimal labor, saving cost, and keeping product prices low and competitive.
