Allen Harim to Open Modern Hatchery in Dagsboro

Allen Harim Foods Website

Allen Harim will be building a new 70-thousand square foot hatchery in Dagsboro which will then replace two other facilities.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the company says this will allow it to move away from the use of antibiotics.

Joe Moran, president and CEO of the company, said that this would make the facility the most technologically advanced on the peninsula.

It will be located on nearly 20-acres along Nine Foot Road.

One facility in Seaford and another in Dagsboro will then be closed.
