Swaggerty's Farm Celebrates 95 Years of Business

KODAK, Tenn. – Swaggerty's Farm is ringing in the holiday season and ending the year by celebrating 95 years of business. Continuing its 95th year festivities, Swaggerty's Farm recently hosted Julie Anna Potts, President & CEO of the Meat Institute, on Oct. 15, to commemorate the milestone and begin the end-of-year celebrations.

Founded by Lonas Swaggerty in 1930, Swaggerty's Farm is rooted in humble beginnings with a family recipe to help save the family farm, said Swaggerty's Farm. Today, Swaggerty's Farm continues to be one of the top-selling sausage brands in the country, with the No. 1 selling boxed sausage patty on the market, said Swaggerty's Farm. The company remains family-led — now guided by the third generation, with the fourth engaged in key roles across its leadership team.

"When my father started this company in 1930, his goal was simple — to save a family farm and feed his family," said Kyle Swaggerty, son of Lonas Swaggerty and Chairman. "He never could have imagined the success and growth we have had."

Throughout November and December, Swaggerty's Farm will continue its celebrations, including special offers for customers, a sweepstakes, opening its 50,000 square-foot facility expansion and internal festivities highlighting the growth, loyalty and stories of its team members and company heritage, said Swaggerty's Farm.

"I grew up watching the dedication and work ethic of my father, and following in his footsteps with the commitment to quality and our standards instilled in every decision we make," states Doug Swaggerty, third-generation president, owner & CEO. "And although we've expanded and modernized, our traditions and values haven't changed in 95 years. I am very proud of the product we make and consider it an honor to be a part of family meals and memories that others share every day."

As Swaggerty's Farm celebrates 95 years and its accomplishments, the company said it looks forward to the centennial. For more information or to learn more about Swaggerty's Farm, visit www.swaggertys.com.
