About Us
Our Origins
For over 50 years, Danbury Fish Farms has been a trusted name in Texas, providing healthy fish to stock ponds, lakes, and reservoirs across the state. Our story began in the 1960s when World War II veteran Clarence Zwahr, a man with a passion for the land, recognized a changing market and an opportunity. Together with his son Kenny, a skilled aquaculturist, they transformed their rice fields into thriving fish ponds, setting the foundation for our future.
Under Kenny’s leadership, Danbury Fish Farms grew from its humble beginnings as the “Lazy CZ Reservoir Fishing Club” to become the largest hatchery in Texas by the 1980s. Today, we proudly continue Clarence’s legacy of hard work and integrity as a family-owned and operated business, committed to delivering quality fish and exceptional service.
