Family is at the heart of our company
Mountaire® (collectively Mountaire Corporation and its two operating affiliates, Mountaire Farms Inc. and Mountaire Farms of Delaware, Inc.) are agricultural food production and processing companies providing work for over 10,000 people at facilities in Arkansas, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. Now the fourth largest chicken company in the United States, we are still family owned and remain dedicated to giving back to the communities where we do business.
Mountaire was founded in 1914 by Guy Cameron. His son, Ted, joined him in the business, and the family legacy continued when his grandson, Ronnie, joined the company in 1968. Ronnie remains as Chairman of the Board, while his son-in-law, Kevin Garland, has served on the Board since 2008 and was named CEO in 2018.
The Mountaire way
At Mountaire Farms, our culture is what defines us. It sets us apart from our competition and reinforces what we stand for. Supporting each other, uplifting each other, and helping each other succeed. That’s the Mountaire way.
Our employees are our most important asset, and we believe in supporting them whenever possible. As a family-owned company, we understand the importance of family and strive to recreate that sense of family when you join our team. We support each other and even offer leadership classes to help employees succeed in their roles and grow in their careers.
Goal Zero
Safety is more than instructions in a manual, although those are important too. Safety is an attitude, an expectation, a responsibility and a mindset. With the right approach, zero accidents IS an achievable goal.
Consider who you work safely for – is it your family? Your friends? Your dog? Whoever it is, we want you to get home to them the same way you arrived to work – safely.
We're committed to excellence
Our commitment to operational excellence means we deliver high quality products to our customers at an affordable price. Our reputation for being able to consistently deliver on that promise is what continues to set us apart.
