Our chickens are fed only the finest grain produced in America's Heartland, are never given antibiotics or hormones nor fed animal by-products. We pioneered the utilization of CAS in the United States so that our birds are handled with care in every aspect of production, from our spacious, free roam farms to our production facility and beyond.

Trim-Rite Food Corporation was founded as an independent custom pork boning business in 1980 with a plant in Schaumburg, IL. This positioning put Trim-Rite closer to the fresh meat supply. Trim-Rite’s main business at the time was to supply custom trimmed pork to the Oriental restaurants on the East Coast.As the business grew, Trim-Rite began to supply customers all throughout the Midwest and East Coast in all areas of the meat business. The increased customer base dictated that we move into a larger facility to handle the growing business. In 1991 Trim-Rite moved to a 37,500 square foot building in Addison, IL.Trim-Rite successfully began to fill the Addison plant with new business and began to ship products all over the world. As Trim-Rite’s domestic and international business grew, it again became apparent that more space was needed. This further growth forced Trim-Rite to move into a larger facility.In March of 2002, Trim-Rite built from the ground up and moved into a 76,000 square foot, state of the art facility in Carpentersville, IL.
