Carroll's Foods, Inc.
 PROFILE
From piglets and poults to hogs and hens, Carroll's Foods supervises a growth industry. Through partnerships with contract farmers and it's own farms, it is one of the largest hog and turkey producers in the US. Carroll's is also the world's largest turkey processor through its 49% stake in Carolina Turkeys, a joint venture with Goldsboro Milling. Its turkey products are sold under the Carolina Turkey brand and private labels. The company makes its own feed at four plants. Founded in 1939 by O. S. Carroll, Carroll's was family owned for 60 years. Its long partnership with #1 pork processor Smithfield Foods culminated with a 1999 buyout that made Smithfield Foods the largest pork producer in the world.
