Feed And Feeding

Glenarm Organic Salmon are reared in accordance with the strict organic standards as set out by the Irish Organic Association and Bio Suisse. The farms their functions and the surrounding environment are audited annually to ensure that the highest organic standards are maintained.

Glenarm Organic Salmon are nourished on a diet containing only natural and organic ingredients from sustainable sources and certified are free from GMOs. This is ideal for ensuring complete freshness and stability of ingredients.

Feeding the salmon is carried out on a daily basis by farm technicians who monitor fish appetite and behaviour taking any necessary actions to ensure all fish are fed evenly and that optimal conversions and minimal wastage is achieved. Unlike the majority of the Industry today, all our fish are hand fed throughout the growing cycle. We find this traditional method of feeding ensures first class stock husbandry and the highest levels of flesh quality and flavour are achieved.
