Ghost Shrimp Co.
A small family operation in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
Our Story
The full story is that Demo and I are friends. We always chat about all kinds of topics when we meet up once a week at the ninja gymnastics class our kids both attend. Sometimes we talk about plants, and other times bees, because Demo is a beekeeper. I built his family farm website, kotsonisfarm.com, where he now sells his local honey too.
One evening, we started talking about fishing. I enjoy taking my son fishing, and we would usually stop at the local bait shop to buy shrimp. That's when Demo told me that back in the early 2000s he collected freshwater shrimp to feed the seahorses he was breeding. Before long he started selling the extra shrimp online so other people could feed their fish too, until he stopped to pursue other projects. I jokingly said I would build him a website.
A couple of months later, we started getting our first orders, and we were scrambling to build a facility, stock the freshwater ponds on his farm, and get a business license!
