Cameron County is one of the top shrimp-producing counties in the United States‚ and much of that production comes from Harlingen Shrimp Farms‚ the oldest continuously operating shrimp farm in the country.
Harlingen Shrimp Farms produces about 2 million pounds of edible Pacific White shrimp each year. The shrimp are produced in an on-site hatchery and then stocked in earthen ponds in early spring‚ with harvesting of the tiny creatures taking place from July to October.
That enables Harlingen Shrimp Farms to always supply fresh shrimp to its customers across the nation.
