HISTORY
Ejstrupholm Fish Farm was taken over by Nancy and Kaj Jensen in 1984. Over the
years the couple bought other farms; Nr Vium Fish Farm, Abildtrup Fish Farm,
Funder Fish Farm, Christiansminde Fish Farm and Idom Fish Farm. Together with
Ejstrupholm Fish Farm these 5 plants throughout Denmark form the Ejstrupholm
Fish Farm Company.
Four of the fish farms are Model 3 Plants which are high-tech facilities protecting
the environment. In the period of 2005 to 2009 five traditional farms were
converted to these four Model 3 Plants. Ejstrupholm Fish farm expects along the
way to build more farms on the environment-friendly installations.
