Would members of your group be excited to select and purchase their own pond fish? This is exactly what your group will be able to do if you tour our farm. Please review the information listed below and we hope to see you here soon.
When can I visit the farm and is it possible to purchase fish at that time?
The best days during the week are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Saturday’s are available if requested. This is a working fishery so tours must be arranged around our shipping schedule. During your tour you will see all the fish we have in shipping to sell that day. If there are any fish you wish to purchase we will be set up to package and sell you fish that you select.
How many people can go on a tour at once?
We can accommodate all sizes of tours if arrangements are made in advance.
Do you sell fish year round, how many fish do you sell in a year and where do you ship to?
We harvest and ship year round. Ozark sells millions of fish a year in all sizes and types. We breed, raise and sell fancy goldfish, koi, butterfly koi, common goldfish, sarassa goldfish, shubunkins, rosy red minnows, tadpoles, crawfish and snails. We have developed some very uniquely marked select koi in both regular and butterfly. We ship nationwide and into Canada.
How long will the tour last?
Your tour will last approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours. It will include:
- A stop at the Artesian Spring - where Ozark Fisheries began in 1926. This was originally an Indian campground and later a site for church revivals.
- Information about koi and goldfish spawning, production and shipping techniques.
- View koi, goldfish, snails, tadpoles and crayfish in their holding tanks.
- Select and purchase your own pond fish.
Group tours must be booked in advance. Office hours are Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
We want your day on the hatchery to be educational and fun! You will experience all the real sights, sounds and smells of a working hatchery with many photo opportunities along the way!
Ozark Fisheries is located 30-45 minutes south of Lake of the Ozarks, 2 hours northeast of Branson, 2-1/2 hours west St. Louis and 1-1/2 hours northeast Springfield, Missouri. To view a map and directions to the hatchery please click here.
