Hampshire Carp Hatcheries
Hampshire Carp Hatcheries is a family run business. It was originally set up by Chris Seagrave on a one acre site at Petersfield in 1985. High demand for pond fish led to rapid expansion and it now operates from a 15 acre site at Bowlake just north of Bishopstoke.
Chris has now hung up his waders and the farm is run by Pat Haughton, Mark and Michelle Stringer. They are greatly assisted by the assistant manager Lewis Simmonds.
