Amick Farms Plans Edgefield County, South Carolina, Operations

10/31/2026
Poultry processor Amick Farms plans to establish operations in Trenton, South Carolina. The $54.78 million project is expected to create 40 jobs in Edgefield County.

The investment will include the construction of a hatchery with the capacity to hatch more than 1.5 million eggs. Operations are scheduled to begin in April 2027.

“Congratulations to Amick Farms on its new operation in Edgefield County. The company’s $54.78 million investment in agribusiness, one of our state’s key economic sectors, is a win for South Carolina,” noted South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.

To support the project, the South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $1 million Set-Aside grant to Edgefield County to assist with site preparation and building construction costs.

“Amick Farms has been an important part of South Carolina’s agricultural economy for generations, and we are excited to see the company continue its growth with the new hatchery in Edgefield County. This represents a significant commitment to the county and further strengthens our region’s agricultural and food processing industries. We appreciate Amick Farms’ continued confidence in our region and look forward to supporting the company’s continued success,” noted Western South Carolina Economic Development Partnership Chairman Richard Pendarvis.

Amick Farms specializes in poultry production and processing, operating integrated hatcheries, feed mills and processing facilities. The company supplies chicken products for retail, food service and industrial markets.
