About
THE FATBACK STORY
In 2013 FatBack was formed by a group of like-minded professionals, all of whom shared one particular passion and goal: they wanted to bring agriculture back to the state of Alabama. As chefs and restauranteurs who understood the value of locally and responsibly grown ingredients, FatBack sought to not only expand the agricultural practices of rural Alabama, but also improve upon the quality of farming to make their products truly outstanding.
SINCE THEN, WE HAVE SET OUT ON A MISSION:
FatBack is dedicated to reviving the small, family-owned, heritage-breed hog farm; to providing farmers with quality services for processing, curing, smoking and adding value to their pork products; and to building and maintaining a network in which these products can be distributed.
Here at FatBack we believe that when such extensive effort and hard work goes into raising these animals, the same diligence should be paid when it comes to the quality of post-mortem production. As our slogan states, we Respect The Pig in every single stage.
Today, FatBack works with a network of small farms in Alabama and throughout the South to provide a steady stream of premium heritage-breed pork products to chefs and retailers. Our products are produced in our FatBack Abattoir in Eva, Alabama adhering to the most stringent quality and safety standards.
