SMITHFIELD FOODS

Smithfield is the leading provider of premium pork products, offering the most important part of any meal: premium, high-quality meat. The rest of the meal is just a side dish. We take our meat duties seriously, which is why we've been around over 85 years... Founded in 1936 in Smithfield, Virginia, Smithfield was created by people who lived for the love of meat. Today, we bring artistry, authenticity, and pure love to the production of America's favorite foods-everything from bacon, slow-smoked holiday hams, and hand-trimmed ribs to marinated tenderloins, smoked meats, and more meaty goodness. We currently service retail, foodservice, and deli channels across the U.S. and 30 countries abroad. All Smithfield meat products meet the highest quality and safety standards in the industry and come directly from farms right here in the U.S... Peter Eckrich arrived in America at the age of 17, eager to seek his fortune. In 1894, he opened a small meat market in Fort Wayne, Indiana
