Foster Poultry Farms, LLC

Foster Poultry Farms, LLC operates a poultry slaughter and processing establishment at 2960 Cherry St. in Fresno, Fresno County, California, under FSIS establishment number P6137A. The federal record lists the doing-business-as names Coastal Range Organics and Sunland Poultry Co, reports both poultry slaughter and poultry processing activities, and places the plant in the Large size class with a slaughter volume category of 5.0. The grant of inspection date on file is March 27, 2021. No custom-exempt activity is reported, which means the plant is not recorded with FSIS as slaughtering or processing animals for the exclusive use of their owners.

The website on file is the Foster Farms corporate site, which describes a branded consumer poultry business rather than this specific Fresno plant. That site states the company began in 1939 when Max and Verda Foster borrowed $1,000 against a life insurance policy to buy land in California's Central Valley, that Verda raised turkey poults and chickens were added in the 1950s, and that the first processing facility opened in Livingston, California, in 1959. The company describes itself as operating for more than 85 years and remaining rooted in California.

Plant-level details such as on-site retail, hours at this address, booking procedures, or contact for producers are not stated in the sources and are not yet on file. A phone number of (559) 265-6115 appears in the federal record. Secondary directory listings show a Foster Poultry Farms address at 900 W Belgravia Ave in Fresno, which differs from the Cherry St. address reported to FSIS.

The Foster Farms website is a consumer brand site with a store locator style "Where to Buy" section, and it lists product lines including fresh chicken, frozen chicken, corn dogs, franks and deli, and ready-to-eat items. Product filters on the site include 100% All Natural, Free Range, Gluten Free, High Protein, No Added Hormones or Steroids, No Antibiotics Ever, Organic, and 100% Vegetarian Fed. The site does not state that this Fresno plant has a retail counter, sells halves or quarters, or offers direct shipping or online ordering. Consumer questions are directed to 1-800-255-7227, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM PST.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
