What We Do
Over 100 years and through four generations of family values, George’s Inc. has grown to feed a world of possibilities for our people and communities—and consistently integrated, innovated, and acquired new capabilities to meet evolving customer and consumer needs in chicken. Our story began in the late 1920s, in Brush Creek, Arkansas, when C.L. George established a general store to serve his community while also raising broiler chickens and began hauling them to larger markets throughout the Midwest. As the business evolved, C.L. moved it to Springdale, Arkansas, where he formed Farmer’s Produce Company, along with his two sons, Luther and Gene. With time, experience, and further integration, the company was renamed for the family who founded it: George’s Inc. Today, while George’s roots run deep in Springdale, its family has expanded to include more than 7,000 team members and 350 farmers throughout Arkansas, Missouri, and Virginia. Still family-owned, George’s is large enough to accommodate a variety of chicken needs yet approaches its business from an uncompromising family approach—offering the best of both worlds to its customers, consumers, partners, and communities. Whether fresh, frozen, value-added, or for retail or foodservice markets, George’s is ready and able to deliver its premium chicken products locally, regionally, and nationally.
