1 John 4:9-11
9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.
10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
Hi, friends! We're the Thompson family. Together, we grow and produce delicious pastured pork worthy of your family's table. Scroll down to learn more about what we do and how we 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 family'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 we do everything from raising the pig to packaging the bacon. Our pigs are born and harvested here, never having to be transported or kept in a cage of any kind. Our processing center produces fresh, smoked and fully cooked pork the way Raymond learned to do it (with a few modern adjustments of course). Our 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. We've been proud partners with Whole Foods Market for 10 years now so you can find us in the meat department in stores from Florida to New Jersey. We're your source for GAP certified pork.
