Sustainable Aquaculture

Heartland Catfish Company is one of the largest vertically integrated fisheries in the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish industry, and prides itself on providing a healthy, sustainable seafood option to grocery stores and restaurants. By utilizing man-made, freshwater ponds, Heartland eliminates groundwater pollution exposure, creates safe artificial wetland habitats and avoids contributing to the overfishing of natural lakes and rivers.

Heartland Catfish sources 50% of annually processed catfish from the same property that the processing facility resides on, reducing carbon emissions from additional transportation. The rest of the 50% of processed catfish is from select partner-farmers in Texas, the Arkansas Delta, Mississippi Delta and the Black Belt Prairie Region of Mississippi and Alabama, keeping supply regional and reducing emissions as much as possible.
