Tern Fisheries Ltd started production as a trout table farm unit in 1976. The majority of the fish produced were marketed through the Birmingham wholesale fish market with the balance being sold locally to pubs and hotels. In the early 1980’s production was gradually shifted into producing larger trout for restocking. Most fish averaged between 680-1.5kg with a few larger up to 5-10kg. At this point the farm output was between 30,000 and 40,000 kg per annum. The fish were sold within a 50 mile radius and delivered by the fisheries team. 

Due to the owners retirement the farm has been let for the last five years and is now offered for let again as the current tenant has altered his enterprises. Having built the farm themselves the landlords have a wealth of knowledge on the site and they are prepared to share this understanding with any tenant.
