On March 17, 2022, Polk’s Meat Products, Inc., announced the purchase of the company by current CEO Julie Polk Breazeale.
“I was never able to know my grandfather so to be able to continue his dream is one way I can stay connected to him,” says Julie Breazeale. “I feel very blessed to be able to share this exciting experience with my husband and children. It’s important to me that my kids know that you must put the work in to reach your goals. One thing that became clear early on was the realization that I was definitely in the minority when it came to being in the meat industry, but that is also part of what has given me the drive to get to this point,” Breazeale said.
