Foster Farms
 PROFILE
As the West Coast's top poultry company, Foster Farms has a secure place in the pecking order. The company's vertically integrated operations see chickens and turkeys from the incubator to grocers' meat cases (under the Foster Farms brand). In addition to hatching, raising, slaughtering, and processing chickens and turkeys into fresh and value-added products for the grocery and food service industries, the company grinds its own feeds. Already strong in western states, Foster Farms has cast its gaze eastwards hoping to compete nationally, but has also agreed to buy the chicken operations of local rival Zacky Farms. Max and Verda Foster founded the company in 1939; it is still owned by the Foster family.
