Bunting remembers his father as an unrelenting dairy farmer who allowed him to venture into small-scale fish farming in the 1970s only as an experimental means of disposing of the waste from the dairy farm by converting it into fish feed.
Bunting's big step towards independence, and consolidating of his business interest in fish farming came in 1989 when a fish farm of 25 water acres in size at Hillrun in St Catherine, was repossessed by creditors and was being sold.
Bunting then sold the Hillrun farm which by then was producing 1.5 tonnes of fish per month, for what he said was "a huge profit" and decided to develop the fish farm on 25 per cent of the land that had been bequeathed to him at Longville Park.

 GROUP WORKS TO HALT DECLINE OF EASTERN PAINTED BUNTING   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The painted bunting is a sparrow-sized member of the finch family and is considered by many to be North America's most beautiful bird, said John Cely, wildlife biologist with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources.
South Carolina is also unique in that a significant number of buntings in the southern part of the state are found as far inland as the "fall line" between Aiken and Columbia where they are associated with shrubby areas, hedgerows and field edges.
Painted bunting habitat must be actively managed to stay in the appropriate successional stage these birds prefer; otherwise a fallow field left alone will eventually turn into a pine or pine-hardwood forest and the buntings will leave.
