Perdido River Meats opens new processing facility

Perdido River Meats, a division of Perdido River Farms based in Atmore, Ala., held a grand opening of its $29 million meat processing facility on Feb. 6.

“This grand opening marks a significant milestone for Pedido River Farms and the community,” said John English, director of Perdido River Farms. “We are proud to expand our operations and look forward to sharing our passion for quality, locally sourced meats with our neighbors and community.”

The facility specializes in premium meats that are sourced from local farmers to provide fresh, quality products for the community.

“The opening of this new processing facility will not only help address food supply chain issues but also greatly benefit Alabama cattle producers, who have expressed the need for additional processing facilities in our area,” said Alabama Agriculture and Industries Commissioner Rick Pate.

Perdido River Meats specializes exclusively in beef products. Customers are able to have their own cattle processed or to purchase whole and half cows directly from the facility. Its retail store offers everything from soup bones to filet mignon.
