The farm is located in Israel, in the mountainous area of Jerusalem’s outskirts. It is placed far from the noise of the big city, next to the picturesque green grove and breathtaking view of the valley.
The aquaponic systems on growing facilities make the inhabitancy of the Redclaw close as possible to the natural. Nord Eco uses fragments of natural soil, stones and plants to let the crayfishes grow in comfort. The company does not use antibiotics, hormones or GMOs – its crayfishes feed exclusively on organic food.
