Our Plate
Your plate is our business, and the responsibility to put quality food on it is one we take very seriously.
It starts on our farms with the thoughtful care for our turkeys. This dedication supports the high quality of our products and trust consumers place in our brands. In conjunction with more than 600 contract family farms, we strive to provide excellent animal care and well-being.
We’ve launched all new products like Butterball Turkey Sausage Balls ideal for breakfast or snacking occasions, and convenient center-of-the-plate meal solutions like our Simple Seasonings turkey breast. We extended our current product offerings with new options like Butterball Turkey Sausage Crumbles.
During the 2019 and 2020 holiday seasons, we assisted more than four million people with crucial turkey questions on support platforms via our website Butterball.com, social media, the Butterball Skill for Alexa, live chat, and emails.
Our Planet
Your plate is our business, and the responsibility to put quality food on it is one we take very seriously.
Our business starts with farmers who produce our food and it’s sustained by healthy land and responsible stewardship.
In 2019, we rehabilitated our largest spray field for managing wastewater from our Mount Olive, N.C. facility. This resulted in a 64% improvement in soil function and its infiltration capacity. Further results suggested significant improved performance in the field. Based on these findings, additional spray fields are currently undergoing rehabilitation in 2020-22.
For more efficient processing, we’ve combined two older feed mills, essentially building a new state-of-the-art feed mill in Yellville, AR. Since this merge we’ve saved more energy and made transportation to nearby farms more accessible. In addition, this feed mill has three milling lines, one of which is segregated for specialty feed to prevent cross contamination.
Philanthropy
We don’t just put food on your table—we’re also dedicated to reducing hunger and securing nutrition across communities and our world.
