Thompson Farms

Hi, friends! We're the Thompson family. Together, the company grow and produce delicious pastured pork worthy of your family's table. Scroll down to learn more about what the company do and how the company got started on this journey of pig farming. It all started from "Granddaddy Raymond's" fond memory of an old, dirt-floored smokehouse in his fam... ily's backyard. Raymond was a pig farmer all his life. As a boy, he was tasked with feeding the hogs before getting on the school bus each morning. He learned to be patient with the animal, how to care for and show it respect. He was taught how to harvest the hog and the importance of utilizing each and every part. Years went by and Raymond was convinced the pork he smoked as a kid was unmatched to anything he could purchase in the grocery store. So at the ripe young age of 74, he decided to open Thompson Farms Smokehouse with his son Andrew. A USDA inspected processing plant was built right here on the pig farm in Dixie so that Raymond and Andrew could control the quality of the pork from start to finish. Today the company do everything from raising the pig to packaging the bacon. The company's pigs are born and harvested here, never having to be transported or kept in a cage of any kind. The company's processing center produces fresh, smoked and fully cooked pork the way Raymond learned to do it (with a few modern adjustments of course). The company's retail shop onsite is stocked with pork so you can carry it right off the farm to your home. If you can't make a trip down to Dixie, don't worry- there are other ways to find Thompson Farms Pork.
