Family-owned and operated Swaggerty’s Farm has officially opened and begun operations at its new 50,000-square-foot production expansion in Kodak, Tennessee. This marks a significant milestone for the company, increasing capacity while enhancing efficiency and maintaining the high-quality standards customers have come to expect.
For nearly a century, Swaggerty’s Farm has produced premium sausage products in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Founded in 1930 by Lonas Swaggerty to support the family farm, the company has grown into a national brand while remaining rooted in its East Tennessee heritage. Its extensive portfolio of frozen and refrigerated products – which ranges from Pork Sausage Patties and Dinner Links to Chicken Biscuit Minis, Sausage Egg & Cheese Croissants, Jalapeño Cheddar Kolache and more – are available in over 18,000 retail and wholesale outlets as well foodservice establishments throughout the USA.
“Our growth is fueled by a simple philosophy: never forget where you started,” said Doug Swaggerty, president and chief executive officer. “This expansion allows us to scale our operations while protecting the integrity of our process. We’re investing in our future so we can continue delivering the high standards our customers and community deserve.”
The new facility features modern, energy-efficient systems and innovative building materials. Local general contract partner, Southern Constructors Inc., worked closely with Swaggerty’s Farm to design and complete the project.
