Farms: Show Me Shrimp Farms in Dixon, Missouri
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
Meet Paul Smith. He's not your average Missouri farmer. He used to raise cattle, but now he raises shrimp. Malaysian fresh water prawns, to be exact. Last year, he started with 15,000 prawns in April and after 2 months in a heated greenhouse and 3 months in a specially designed pond, the shrimp are ready for harvest... right around Labor Day every September. Who knew you could buy fresh, local, organic shrimp in Missouri? Join Paul at the Show Me Shrimp Farms in Dixon, Missouri. You can bring your friends and family to the Annual ShrimpFest on September 6th. Watch the harvest, enjoy the fun and music, local wine tasting, freshly cooked shrimp meals... and of course, buy some shrimp! There will be something for everyone. Free admission and bring your camping gear and stay the night for free.
