BUXTON
Trout & Salmon Farm
​
Local, Sustainable & Ethical Food
Buxton Trout and Salmon Farm is Australia’s first trout farm where trout have been reared for over 50 years.
The gravity fed water supply originates from the snowfields of Lake Mountain before cascading down Stevensons Falls and through its streams providing the perfect place to grow a clean natural food. No antibiotic chemicals or growth hormones are used on our farm. Our farm is a vertically integrated experience – we hatch the fish here and sell them ready for you to eat! Support local, sustainable and ethical food.
Rainbow Trout
Rainbow Trout are not only a highly sustainable but also environmentally friendly source of natural, healthy food. High in Omega 3 oils trout have great heart health benefits which includes reducing the risk of death by heart attack, stroke or heart disease.

Rainbow trout are native to the Western Coast of North America and were introduced to Australia in 1894. Rainbow trout require cold, clean water in order to survive, if water temperatures start to exceed 25 degrees the fish start to die, which is why our region’s cool, clean rivers and streams provide the perfect place to grow trout.Check out our Trout recipes for ideas by clicking here.

Mountain Ash Smoked Trout
Our smoked trout are cooked over a mountain ash fire in a traditional method and are considered by many chefs to be the best in Australia, even appearing on MasterChef.
"We used to have a Dutchmen that lived over the road who was a third generation eel smoker. He was probably the first person to commercially smoke trout in Australia back in the late 1970’s. He taught us how to build and use a woodfire smoker for the trout and salmon. It still works very well and we can do 200kg or 600 fish in around 5 hours. We use Mountain Ash as this wood burns very quickly and doesn’t leave any coals so it is great for smoking fish. " - Mitch MacRae, Owner.
Hand-Milked Caviar
Buxton Hand Milked Caviar is of premium grade. A glistening orange egg with a glorious burst of flavour. The eggs are clean and nicely separated by hand, then lightly salted using time honored methods to give a distinctive flavour.
By gently hand milking the fish only when they are fully ripe means the caviar will pop on the roof of your mouth with an explosion of flavour.
Mama-Trout's Smoked Trout Pate
Mama Trout's home made smoked trout is made from our delicious Mountain Ash Smoked trout flesh, blended with cream cheese, lemon juice and water. The reason it is so delicious is because it is over 60% smoked trout flesh.
