104: Ty Walker: Swimming Upstream, Sustainable Aquaculture, and the heritage of Smoke in Chimneys

Farmer, fisherman, and founder of Smoke in Chimneys, Ty Walker joins us on the show today. After living in LA and following his calling as a DJ, Ty returned to his farming roots in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It’s there that he charted a new path for himself and his young family– in aquaculture. On the show today, Ty shares how he navigated these big life changes, even when his family wasn’t on board. He also shares how he purchased a hundred year old hatchery– and learned how to run it from scratch, creating a truly sustainable product sought after by chefs and consumers alike.
