Founded in 1990, in the heart of Louisiana, it all started with a dream, Mr. Scott Purdin’s dream to create living artwork, always aiming for that perfect harmony of quality, body, and pattern. Together with his wife Susan, Scott discovered the ideal piece of land just outside Baton Rouge. Nestled beside a simple 1830s mud-and-moss cottage, the farm took shape, starting with a greenhouse-style picante red barn. Inside, five custom concrete ponds, ranging from 1,200 to 25,000 gallons, were built, each equipped with its own advanced filtration system to ensure optimal water quality for the koi. Outside, seven additional concrete ponds provide over 130,000 gallons of water, giving our koi ample space to thrive.

​

As the farm grew so did the vision. Today, we run 11 mudponds to raise koi fry until the first selection.
