Eat Local, Buy Pacific Northwest Grown
Foster Farms is local. Really local. Since 1987 all Foster Farms fresh chicken sold in the Pacific Northwest has been grown and raised right here in Oregon and Washington.
Growing chicken this way allows us to support regional agriculture and local communitites. We work with 32 independent family-owned farms in Washington and Oregon within close proximity to major Pacific Northwest cities and towns. Our farmers share Foster Farms’ commitment to quality and humane growing practices; a commitment that began when Max and Verda founded the company more than 70 years ago. Our Kelso, Washington processing facility employs 750 men and women, and wherever possible sources materials, equipment, and services from local companies. We're proud of our commitment to the Pacific Northwest.
Delivered Fresh in 48 Hours or Less
Working with family farms close to where our customers live is the right thing to do. It means that our chicken is delivered fresh to your store in 48 hours or less, instead of sitting on trucks for four days or more like chicken raised in states as far away as Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi. Foster Farms fresh chicken has quality you can taste, with no need to "plump"-- no added salt or saltwater. And being locally raised means a smaller carbon footprint-- and that's good for the environment.
Please join us in supporting other locally produced crops and livestock in the Pacific Northwest and
the farmers that raise them, with a pledge to dedicate Sundays to "Eat Local and Buy Pacific Northwest Grown".
