A Night of Gratitude & Fellowship 🌾🐓
Our annual Grower Appreciation Picnic is always one of our favorite evenings of the year — a chance to gather our growers and their families together, share a meal, fellowship, talk about the industry we all work in, and simply celebrate another year of working together.
We are especially grateful to God for allowing us to gather together for another year and for the many blessings He has given our business and the families who make it possible.
A special thank you to Ard’s Farm for graciously hosting us, Dr. Dan Bautista with Ceva for sharing valuable insight on poultry health, and The Fuller Family Band for sharing the Gospel through their beautiful music. We are also thankful for our industry partners who joined us — Murray’s Chicken, David Elliot Poultry, and Longenecker’s Hatchery.
Thank you as well to BVS for generously donating Tractor Supply gift cards for our raffle!
This year was especially meaningful as we shared updates on bird health, biosecurity, and our new feed mill — a tremendous investment in the future of Clark’s and in our ability to better serve our growers.
We didn’t take nearly enough pictures, but perhaps that’s because we were too busy enjoying the evening and the people around us. ♥️
As a fourth-generation family business, we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside third-generation family partners whom we have known and worked with for decades. Together, we have the privilege of supporting a network of multigenerational farm families — including families where three generations have raised birds for Clark’s.
And this year, we were reminded that our own family legacy is continuing, too. The fifth generation of the Clark family was in attendance, as Tessa’s oldest daughter, Ellie, joined us for the evening. 🐥
There is something truly special about seeing generations of families gathered together — families who have built relationships, worked hard, and grown alongside one another over decades. It is a legacy we never take for granted.
We thank God for another successful year and for the growers, families, employees, and partners who make it possible.
Thank you for being part of the Clark’s family. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you! 🤍
