We're a family-owned company with a commitment to quality and innovation

Perdue Farms is privately held and family owned. Chairman Jim Perdue is the third generation Perdue to lead the company. Our company is guided by a family commitment to quality that goes back to our founding in 1920.

Our corporate office in Salisbury, Md., is across the street from the Perdue family farm, where our very first chickens were raised. The farm is a constant reminder of our company's heritage – and the values upon which our business was founded.

Those values – quality, integrity, trust and teamwork – are shared by the more than 20,000 associates who work at Perdue facilities throughout the eastern half of the U.S. and around the globe, and the 7,500 farm families who raise our chickens and sell us their grain.

Our family and farm tradition is always in our hearts, but our innovative spirit defines our future. We embrace change, pursue continuous improvement and invest in the technologies and opportunities that will drive our business forward.
