THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FISH!
SF Organics turns them into Organic Fertilizer
All fish taken during the U.S. Open Bowfishing Championship will be put to good use
as environmentally friendly fertilizer. Advances in technology have made it possible
to liquefy fish into a safe, healthy fertilizer for use by organic farmers and home and
garden purposes. SF Organics, a Division of Schafer Fisheries, uses hydrolysis to break
the product down while maintaining the vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and minerals
that create high-quality natural plant food.
“We love being able to get the kind of tonnage this bowfishing tournament will
produce,” said James Schafer of SF Organics, a Division of Schafer Fisheries.
“We’re able to pick up the fish in our refrigerated trucks the same day they’re caught
so we can convert them into organic fertilizer.”
