It was 1938 when Virgil Cooper set out to raise his first flock of just 500 turkeys for the holidays and started what is now Cooper Farms. As they celebrate their 75th anniversary the Cooper family is humbled by the growth they have seen and thankful to all those who have helped them reach this amazing milestone.
“I doubt my parents could have ever imagined the company being what it is today,” said Gary Cooper, COO. “We have learned that through hard work and commitment to your word, opportunities can come your way and you can become more than you ever dreamed. Our small town turkey farm has now become the 12th largest turkey producer in the U.S., and is also one of the largest hog producers in Ohio.”
