ATMORE, ALA. — 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.
Perdido River Farms manages 2,900 acres of Tribal agricultural properties, consisting of permanent grasses for grazing, summer and winter annuals, hay lands, and row crop land. As the agricultural arm of the Poarch Creek Indians, PRF also manages a commercial cow/calf operation and also hosts youth events, such as the Escambia County Youth Livestock Association Steer & Heifer Show and the Alabama South District FFA Fall Eliminations.
