About the Company

Prestage

Vertical-integrated pork and turkey producer

Prestage Farms is a vertically integrated producer of pork and turkey in the United States. The company controls every part of the supply chain, from raising animals to producing specialized feed in their own mills and running a major processing plant, culminating in packaged products. Its product flow starts on the farm, passes through in-house feed mills and processing facilities, and ends as ready-for-sale meat products. What sets Prestage apart is that it remains family-owned and operated, expanding steadily across states while maintaining full control of the entire value chain rather than relying on external suppliers. Its goal is to be a leading, reliable provider of pork and turkey by maintaining tight oversight of quality, efficiency, and scale through a long-term, disciplined growth strategy from farm to final product.
