At Marvesta Shrimp Farms, we are committed to providing the freshest, the most environmentally friendly and healthiest shrimp to market on a consistent basis. Founded in 2002, Marvesta has been able to implement and utilize a zero-exchange indoor system through which we are able to avoid all of the "pitfalls" commonly associated with traditional shrimp farming techniques. These common problems include such environmentally detrimental aspects as: the destruction of mangrove forests, the nitrification and eutrophication of coastlines, by-catch associated with trawling technicques, subsequent killing of sea turtles, discharge common to other forms of aquaculture, along with numerous other issues that adversely affect the environment, your environment.
Marvesta is a domestic shrimp farm, strategically located in Maryland. The vast majority of shrimp consumed in the United States is frozen for a prolonged period of time as these imported shrimp shipments make their way across the world. It is true that fresh shrimp can be had from domestic shrimp farms within the United States but only on a seasonal basis. Until now! Thanks to Marvesta’s indoor design, we are able to provide a fresh domestic product on a consistent basis to our customers overnight.
