A big thank-you to the Association of Washington Business for visiting our Quilcene hatchery and allowing us to share with you the incredible work our team does every day. From growing algae to nurturing oyster and clam seeds, our team is proud to grow sustainable shellfish that support healthy oceans, thriving communities, and delicious meals!
From algae to spat and oysters to clams, AWB's visit to Quilcene and one of the world's largest shellfish hatcheries was fascinating. Thirty employees at the Pacific Seafood hatchery in Quincene grow oyster and clam larvae that are then transplanted to tidelands across Washington state and beyond to be grown for harvest. Pacific Seafood is a family-owned and operated company dedicated to providing the healthiest protein on the planet. Take a look inside their facility in this #MFGisWA spotlight video, brought to you by Premera Blue Cross and Banner Bank.
