RDM Shrimp

RDM Aquaculture, established in July 2010, is proud to be the third indoor shrimp farm in the United States. We utilize a Heterotrophic RAS system, meaning we have a zero exchange process and reuse the same water that we started with. This emphasis on maintaining clean and healthy water is essential for producing high-quality shrimp without any antibiotics, hormones, or toxins.

Our shrimp are sold live and direct to ensure freshness, and they are never frozen, maintaining their heads, which adds a unique sweetness not found in store-bought shrimp. We are also committed to assisting others entering the shrimp business with various package choices to get started in this fascinating industry.

We welcome visitors for group tours lasting an hour, which are both informative and enjoyable. We pride ourselves on producing the freshest and cleanest shrimp, reared with great care over the years, ensuring the highest standards of sustainability and environmental responsibility. This commitment makes our shrimp a unique offering in the market.

The farm, located in the serene pastoral landscape of Benton County, Indiana, north of Purdue University, makes an ideal setting for our operations. We run our aquaculture system on air only, with no pumps or filters, and strive to reach 100% sustainability. Our dedication to clean, healthy, and tasty shrimp begins with the production's sustainable and responsible processes.

Heading the farm are Darryl and Karlanea Brown, a husband-and-wife team who ensure everything runs smoothly. Darryl holds a degree in Agriculture and Animal Science and is the farm's 'Water Guru,' continuously researching ways to improve shrimp breeding.
