Farm’s new owners hope patrons continue to, as slogan says, eat their fish
5 Jul 2017
MENOMONIE — Jeremiah Fredrickson read a Leader-Telegram article about Herby Radmann selling his fish farm and was hooked.
Jeremiah and his wife, Jordan, of Elk Mound and two friends, Matthew and Jamie Poore of Portage, earlier this month bought Bullfrog Fish Farm, N1321 566th St., Menomonie. Matthew Poore has a degree in fish and wildlife management.
The farm will now be Jeremiah’s Bullfrog Fish Farm but continue as a trout fishing pond with musical entertainment, a chance to grill trout and a provider of retail product lines.
It also will retain the slogan “Eat My Fish.”
Herby Radmann started the fish farm in March 1994 after discovering in the late 1980s the plentiful and pure water resources under what was then a farm field.
For about a year he scouted for a new owner to move the fish farm into the future.
“I didn’t know I had the dream to be a fish farmer, but lo and behold, I did,” Jeremiah Fredrickson, 40, said, smiling.
