Turkey Coop Group

Turkey Coop Group, doing business as Prestage Farms, Prestage Foods, and Prestage Foods of South Carolina, holds establishment number P850 at 175 Dr Humphries Rd in Camden, Kershaw County, South Carolina. The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing, with poultry as the species slaughtered under inspection, a size class of Large, and a slaughter volume category of 4.0. The grant of inspection date on file is June 18, 2024. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

Prestage Foods describes itself as a family-owned and operated business founded in 1983 by Bill and Marsha Prestage, with three generations working in the company today. Its published timeline states that Prestage Farms of South Carolina was formed in 1994 as a turkey production division, and the company's South Carolina page states that Prestage Farms of South Carolina has been raising turkeys in the region since 1994 and that the Prestage Foods plant processes turkeys. The company also operates a turkey processing facility in St. Pauls, North Carolina, and a pork processing facility in Eagle Grove, Iowa, which are separate locations from the Camden establishment.

The company website markets turkey and pork products through sales inquiry contacts rather than a retail storefront, and lists a Camden truck driver delivery address at 674 Mt. Olivet Road with the phone number 839-432-4871. The federal record lists a phone number of (839) 432-4900. Details beyond the federal record and these company pages, including retail sales, custom or private-label processing for outside growers, cut and wrap options, and hours, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists this establishment as a Large poultry slaughter and processing plant with a slaughter volume category of 4.0 and no custom-exempt activity reported, which indicates commercial volume work rather than custom processing for individual owners. The company describes a vertically integrated model in which contract growers raise birds for company-owned processing, and states that Prestage Farms of South Carolina has raised turkeys in the region since 1994. The sources do not state whether the plant accepts animals from outside producers, and no booking process, minimums, or fees are stated. Growers seeking arrangements would need to use the turkey sales and general contact channels listed on the company website.

Turkey Coop Group operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

The sources describe no retail counter, no halves or quarters, no bundles, and no online ordering or shipping at this location. Prestage Foods markets turkey and pork products through sales inquiries and lists a turkey customer service line of 1-800-679-7198. Household buyers would most likely encounter this plant's turkey through retail and foodservice channels rather than direct purchase at the plant.

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.
