Safety Coordinator

Company Overview

Prestage Farms is a multi-generational family-owned and operated turkey and pork producer and processor. Although agriculture has changed a lot since 1983 when Prestage Farms was founded by Bill & Marsha Prestage, we still operate our business based on the family values instilled over 40 years ago. Today, we produce and process turkey and pork with a dedicated team of employees and growers across the South, the Southeast, and the Midwest. While Prestage Farms has grown and continues to change—always implementing new innovations in animal care, sustainability, and business operations—our commitment to responsibly producing top-quality turkey and pork endures.
