We are proud to report that we have secured two strategic / anchor investors for our last round of fundraising.

Dallas-based private equity firm Sweat Equities will be leading the financing. The firm focuses on health and wellness consumer goods with a particular emphasis on food and beverage, and was founded in 2017 by Charlie Sweat. He’s a respected and renowned food entrepreneur and operator himself with a 16-year tenure as CEO of Earthbound Farm, the largest organic produce and specialty salad provider in North America. During Charlie’s tenure, sales grew from $10 million to over $550 million as the company gained a 65% market share of organic produce in the United States and expanded its business operations internationally to Mexico, Canada, Chile, and major metropolitan areas across the European and East Asian markets. In 2014, Charlie led and completed the sale of Earthbound Farm to WhiteWave Foods for approximately $600 million.

We’re also very proud to be partnering with Mike Hudson, another extremely strategic Arkansas-based investor. The Hudson family founded and sold their multi-generational, family-owned chicken and turkey production operation to Tyson Foods in the late 1990’s. Growing the business to over $1.5 billion in sales, Hudson Foods became the fifth largest U.S. poultry producer with tremendous distribution across mass and club grocery (e.g., Walmart and Sam’s Club) as well as national restaurant chains (e.g., McDonald’s and Boston Market).

The Great American Turkey Co. products are available on FreshDirect, The Fresh Market, and other premium grocers on the East coast. The Great American Turkey Co. products are also available on our website.
