Milford: On the Kent and Sussex Line

Milford straddles the Kent and Sussex county line, with the Mispillion River running through its downtown. Route 1 and Route 113 both meet here, which makes it a natural stopping point between central and southern Delaware.

Poultry and food businesses are a big part of the local economy, alongside farms, manufacturing and a growing commercial area near Route 1. We take requests from Milford and pass them to partner suppliers; availability depends on partner suppliers.

Food shippers often need to confirm pallet condition or material with their own compliance staff first, so bring those requirements to your request. A partner supplier can then tell you what they can offer and at what price.
