[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 478667, member: 4362"] Different operation. My understanding is the White Oak has been successful in getting their feet in the door with Publix and maybe some more grocery chains. Also think he was contracting this work out to others which - in my opinion - left him vunerable being his business has taken off so. In light of this, his investment in his own processing plant is a smart move. From my experience with Walmart, if you get your foot in the door with a chain that can move mountains of product - you better be able to deliver and deliver in a big way. As you say, there is risk in anything but I think the market is ripe for more business like this. People are wanting to know where their food comes from. The fella the inspector was talking about was going this route. He was going to raise and butcher his own cattle and pigs and then sell it in his own store. Haven't visited his operation yet but am told it is nice. [/QUOTE]
