Swaggerty’s Farm Expands Tennessee Plant to Double Production Capacity

Swaggerty’s Farm, a family-owned pork sausage maker, is set to expand its production capacity for the second time in four years at its headquarters in eastern Tennessee. The company announced plans to construct a 50,000-square-foot facility that will significantly boost output.

The new building will utilize energy-efficient construction techniques and materials and is expected to be completed within a year. Unlike many expansion projects, Swaggerty’s Farm confirmed in an email to Meatingplace that it did not receive any tax incentives for this development. The primary focus of the project is to enhance operational efficiencies, and it is not anticipated to create new jobs.

Founded in 1930 near the Great Smoky Mountains, close to the tourist areas of Sevierville and Pigeon Forge, Swaggerty’s Farm has a long history in the region. Today, its pork sausage products are available through 18,000 retailers, distributors, and food service operations nationwide.

Hog producers are taking their stewardship to the next level by finding new ways to manage manure that benefit both the environment and their operations. One approach is using slatted floors with an 8-foot pit. By storing manure in this system, and combining it with variable rate spreading, they're able to apply manure nutrients exactly where needed, improving crop production and reducing waste.

Minnesota pig farmer, Randy Spronk shares how this system has transformed his operation, allowing him to grow healthy crops for his herd while minimizing environmental impact. It's a solution he's proud of — one not that only benefits the land but also creates a lasting legacy he can pass down to his family and future generations.
