Jim Perdue

Jim Perdue grew up watching his father and grandfather transform a small family poultry farm on Maryland’s Eastern Shore into one of America’s most trusted names in food. From those early days, he learned that hard work, integrity, and care—for people, animals, and the planet—were not just the foundations of success but the heart of Perdue’s purpose: that when we care for one another and the world around us, we build something that lasts—raising not only better food, but a better future. Today, as Chairman of Perdue Farms, Jim continues to honor that legacy, guided by the belief that doing what’s right will always lead to doing well.
