Pyeongchang Trout Farm is a historic enterprise that started trout farming in Korea for the first time in 1965. It is located at 19-4, Aretsangri-gil, Pyeongchang-eup, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, and is led by Representative Kim Nam-ho. Its main business is inland aquaculture, and in addition to managing the farm, it operates 'Song-eo-ui-jip,' a restaurant specializing in trout.

The Trout House in Pyeongchang is famous as the place where trout farming first began in Korea. The trout raised here are fed spring water gushing from the slopes of Mt. Sambang, and thanks to the optimal water temperature, quality, and quantity for farming, the flesh is firm and chewy. The farm is always open, allowing visitors to observe the entire process of the trout growing from fry to adults at a glance, and it also has high value as a nature learning center.
