Foster Farms: Family Values

Foster Farms has been a family owned and operated business since its inception in 1939. Four generations later, the company still belongs to the Foster family, though it has grown to employ over 10,000 people throughout the Pacific Northwest. With a focus on local farming and distribution, Foster Farms is careful to deliver fresh, healthy products. Though Foster Farms can offer the experience, opportunities, and stability of a large organization, it is still run like a family farm with a pleasant, personalized work environment.

The work environment at Foster Farms is both congenial and competitive. Employees challenge one another to create and deliver a quality product. Still a family-owned company, Foster Farms has grown from one small turkey farm into a huge company with distribution centers in California, Washington, Colorado, Arkansas, and Alabama. The Foster Farms line of products is sold around the world. Despite this competitive and opportunistic atmosphere, Foster Farms is a family-oriented company, recognizing the importance of home time and community values.

The Transportation and Logistics Department is responsible for warehousing and transportation within Foster Farms. Its extensive distribution network makes Foster Farms one of the largest private carriers in the United States. The Transportation department works closely with product management and customer service so Foster Farm products are deliveries are made complete, fresh, and on time.
