Crossover Farms raises and sells full-grown tilapia for food but also sells young fish to customers for stocking their tanks and ponds. They also sell Tilapia Poo made from fish tank wastewater.
“There are lots of varieties of tilapia,” says John Cusatis, owner of Crossover Farms in Pennsylvania. “What makes us different is that we raise Northeastern Blue Tilapia that can live in a 47 degree environment.”
That means they can winter in ponds that are 25 ft. or deeper. And the fish tastes better than tilapia found in chain stores sourced from overseas, Cusatis adds. He sells various size fish to schools, individuals, and high-end hotels/restaurants. The panfish grow to about 1 1/2 lbs. in eight months and 2 lbs. in a year. Tilapia are also used in a variety of other places, including nuclear power plant cooling ponds to control algae.
Using all-natural practices and water from a 625-ft. artesian well, he notes his fish are pampered from breeder tanks to nursery tanks. Because no chemicals are used, the wastewater is also valuable. Mixed with other natural protein blend ingredients, Cusatis sells Tilapia Poo™ as a soil and plant booster. The 6-ft. tomato plants and 12-ft. mango trees he grows are a testament to the Poo’s effectiveness. The concentrate can be diluted (8 to 1) and he sells it by the gallon ($5), drum, totes and semi-load.
“Farmers use it because it doesn’t clog their sprayers, and they can add liquid nitrogen and customize it for any application,” Cusatis says.
Besides fish and poo, he also has a certified lab for water and fish disease testing, plus he sells Aquadeclor™, an all-natural 3-in-1 product that Cusatis developed to dechlorinate and condition fresh and saltwater tanks.
Finally, Cusatis, a military veteran, notes he offers 10 percent discounts to military, veterans and EMS workers.
