Ep 121: Ty Walker: Owner of Smoke In Chimneys and The Hatchery

In this episode on The Storied Outdoors we sit down with Ty Walker, the passionate owner of The Hatchery, where he and his family are on a mission to revitalize land stewardship. Ty shares the remarkable story of transforming a 1930s trout hatchery in Virginia into a beacon of sustainability and spiritual renewal. Fed by pure spring water and nestled in a nutrient-rich Virginia stream, The Hatchery boasts 7 ponds where trout are nurtured from eggs to full-grown fish, packaged, and shipped nationwide. Ty's vision at Smoke in Chimneys is to metaphorically put the smoke back into the chimneys, breathing life back into the land, both physically and spiritually. Discover how Ty and his family's pursuit of the Lord guides their stewardship, and learn about their deep connection to God and nature, inspiring others to live in harmony with creation.
