Maintenance Repairer

With our roots in northeast Indiana, we are a family-owned company that has been raising and processing chickens with the help of local farmers since the early 40s. Since our start all those years ago, we have been dedicated to producing both organic and all-natural, high-quality chicken, with strict animal welfare standards and the highest quality. We specialize in premium, wholesome, and great-tasting chicken, and you can find our chicken at grocery stores like Whole Foods Market, Kroger, Meijer, and many smaller regional stores. While we have grown, we have continued our dedication to quality, and to keep our valued employees safe during these trying times, because without them none of it would be possible.
