Wayne-Sanderson Farms

Wayne-Sanderson Farms (formerly Wayne Farms and Sanderson Farms, now merged) is one of the largest U.S. poultry producers, selling chicken under the Sanderson Farms brand to grocery retailers and restaurants.

Why this is a target

Sanderson Farms brand chicken is sold at major grocery chains across the South and Midwest. Consumer substitution to other poultry brands is easy. The company's documented opposition to line speed limits that protect workers provides a clear campaign narrative.

Sources

Alternatives

Local/regional poultry farms (farmers markets, CSAs — strongest labor accountability) Perdue Farms (family-owned, No Antibiotics Ever, some worker welfare initiatives) Bell & Evans (certified humane, premium poultry, independent) Joyce Farms (heritage breeds, direct farmer relationships, independent) Mary's Free Range Chicken (family-owned, certified humane, widely available) Springer Mountain Farms (no antibiotics, regional Southeast availability) Good Nature Farm (pasture-raised, small-scale, direct-to-consumer) Cooks Venture (pasture-raised, regenerative, worker-focused messaging) Worker-owned food co-ops (local cooperative grocers often source from smaller processors)
