Seaboard Foods announced the purchase of three farms in Texas and Oklahoma. These strategic acquisitions, which include barns with a total of 57,000 market hog spaces, will directly supply Seaboard Foods’ pork processing plant in Guymon, Oklahoma.
The newly acquired farms are in Perryton, Texas, Optima, Oklahoma, and Balko, Oklahoma, and align with Seaboard Foods’ connected food system’s goal of maintaining control and quality from its farms to tables across the globe. This move aims to bolster Seaboard Foods market hog supply to the Guymon facility, and ensure a consistent and steady flow of pork products.
“We are excited about these acquisitions as they strengthen our commitment to delivering premium pork products and embodying The Prairie Fresh Way,” said Chad Groves, president and CEO of Seaboard Foods. “Adding these farms into our operations allows us to better manage our supply chain and uphold the high standards our domestic and international customers expect from Seaboard Foods.”
The Prairie Fresh Way is a testament to Seaboard Foods’ commitment to doing pork the right way, focused on:
- Control: Managing every step of the production process, from raising the animals to processing the meat to ensure consistent product quality and food safety.
