The biggest land-based salmon skeptics? Companies actually producing salmon on land

At a time when investors are seemingly throwing piles of money at anything related to land-based salmon farming, US land-based coho salmon farmer Finger Lakes Fish feels it is being largely ignored.

“The issues that we’ve had with potential investors is that we’re too small or we’re still kind of pre-revenue,” Phil Gibson, CEO of Finger Lakes Fish, which does business under the LocalCoho name, told IntraFish.

To address this, last month the company launched an equity round on the Harvest Returns crowdfunding platform, which facilitates capital raises for small to medium-sized farmers and ranchers.
