—Abigail, Age 7

“I like seeing the fish jump when I hand feed them. I think the hatchery is a very beautiful place to be!”

—Jacob, Age 11

“As pleasant as it seems, the fish keep it fast paced as they race to their growth from fry to a fingerling.”

—Megan, Age 13

“Being together as a family and raising our children to be environmentally conscious by our actions as stewards of the earth, is really what it’s all about.”

And Kira, age 16 months says “Da” and points to the troughs as the fish jump while she is in the baby carrier on Dennis’ and/or my back.
