Harvest offically begins today. With the help of Mike Fardy and Joyce Spears our “Front Pond” is the first to be harvested. The pond holds 15 Jumbo Tosai from our 2010 production. With only 15 koi, Mat has decided to drain the pond and hand catch each koi instead of using a seine net.

While we are waiting for the pond to drain, Mat, Joyce and Mike are sorting thru some 2011 showa babies.
