Perdido River Meats, a division of Perdido River Farms, announces the grand opening of its new $29 million facility on Thursday, February 6. The celebration will take place at 490 Atmosphere Road, in Atmore from 10 a.m. to noon, with a ribbon cutting ceremony beginning at 10 a.m.
Plans are for a day of festivities, including food, giveaways, and more. The event is open to the public, offering attendees the opportunity to learn more about Perdido River Meats’ commitment to providing high-quality, locally sourced products.
The facility specializes in premium meat, continuing the farm’s mission of supporting local farmers and offering fresh, quality products to the community.
“The opening of this new processing facility will not only help address food supply chain issues but also greatly benefit Alabama cattle producers, who have expressed the need for additional processing facilities in our area,” Alabama Agriculture and Industries Commissioner Rick Pate said.
Perdido River Meats represents the latest chapter in Perdido River Farms’ legacy of agricultural excellence and dedication to sustainability.
Perdido River Meats specializes exclusively in beef products and offers the unique opportunity for customers to have their own cattle processed or to purchase whole and half cows directly from the facility. You can also visit the retail store offering everything from soup bones to filet mignon, all made from high-quality beef.
“This grand opening marks a significant milestone for Perdido River Farms and the community,” said John English, Director of Perdido River Farms. “We are proud to expand our operations and look forward to sharing our passion for quality, locally sourced meats with our neighbors and community.”
