High Country Salmon supports Waihi School

One of the highest salmon farms in the world, High Country Salmon, at Twizel (near Mt Cook) is supporting Waihi School's Centenary project.  Over 100 salmon have been donated to benefit the Centenary Campaign at a value of $25 each for a 2kg salmon.  Orders have come rolling in for the salmon that have been delivered to Waihi School for pick up.
Richard and Margaret Logan started their salmon farm in 2000.  They are based on the main highway just after Twizel, on the left.   Their grandsons, Hamish and Reuben Woods are at Waihi School and their brother Elliott, was dux of the school in 2008.

Their information says the following:
At High Country Salmon we have a working salmon farm, a floating shop where you can purchase smoked or fresh salmon from our farm you can also feed the fish, sit on our picnic tables and watch the native birds that are popular to our area.
We are owner operated and have been in the salmon industry for over 17 years so with our love, passion and knowledge we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality salmon. In our floating shop, which is open all daylight hours, we not only have the freshest whole or fillets of salmon but, also have sashimi available.
We are situated on the main highway between Christchurch and Queenstown so we are the perfect place to stop for a rest, to view our wildlife, taste our salmon or just come feed the fish.
