Deep within the San Luis Valley there is a small family farm that is committed to providing a more sustainable solution to the global seafood crisis. The Faucette Family is raising Alpine Valley Striped Bass in pure artesian waters fed by the Rocky Mountains.

The above ground tanks are kept at the perfect temperature year round thanks to natural geothermal heating. Alpine Valley Striped Bass are harvested on demand, always ensuring a fresh and high quality product.
