Field notes
The farm says its pond is fed by Allgood Springs and linked to a tiered lake system; it is being returned to agricultural use for a seasonal warm-water crop. The site identifies the species as Macrobrachium rosenbergii and suggests splitting, grilling, broiling, or cooking the prawns whole. Farm visits are by arrangement, and the site provides an email address and phone number.
