Foster Farms

Foster Farms is a leading poultry company based in Livingston, California, known for producing and distributing chicken and turkey products. Founded in 1939 by Max and Verda Foster, the company began with a small farm and has grown significantly over the decades through strategic acquisitions and expansions. Foster Farms became the largest chicken producer in California by the late 1980s, thanks to its vertical integration approach, which allows them to control every stage of production from egg to packaged product. The company offers a diverse range of poultry products, including fresh and frozen chicken and turkey, ready-to-eat items, and deli products like poultry franks and luncheon meats. Foster Farms primarily serves the retail food sector, supplying high-quality products for home cooking and food service needs. Committed to sustainability and community involvement, Foster Farms emphasizes humane farming practices and supports local communities.
