Founded in 1914 by Guy Cameron, Mountaire Farms is the fourth-largest chicken company in the United States, producing nearly 3 billion pounds of chicken annually. As a family-owned and operated agricultural food production company, Mountaire has grown from a small commercial feed business in Arkansas to a vertically integrated poultry processor with facilities spanning Arkansas, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. The company remains family owned, with Ronnie Cameron serving as Chairman of the Board, continuing a multi-generational legacy that began over a century ago.
Mountaire Farms employs over 10,000 people and operates as a fully integrated poultry company, managing everything from grain elevators and feed mills to hatcheries and processing plants. The company supplies fresh chicken products to wholesale, retail, and international markets, exporting to over 60 countries worldwide. Committed to sustainability and community, Mountaire built a Resource Recovery Plant in Millsboro, DE, and maintains a strong focus on animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and giving back through initiatives like their Meals for Thousands program. Their culture is guided by the Mountaire Creed, emphasizing quality, honesty, personal growth, and stewardship.
