out troutSunburst Trout Farms in Haywood County has received a $150,000 matching fund USDA Value Added Producers Grant.

 

This is the second time that Sunburst has won the U.S. Department of Agriculture value-added grant. The go-around, the money will go to expand the marketing of their caviar and trout jerky, said Sunburst Sales Manager Wes Eason.

“This grant will help us to better serve our community and the state of North Carolina’s aquaculture industry,” said Anna Eason, marketing director. “Marketing these exclusive products to the high end chefs we see in our living rooms on cable food shows will show just how innovative North Carolinians really are.”
