Nahunta
Pork Center first opened its doors in 1975 to serve the small rural community
of Nahunta with sausage and fresh pork products. Nahunta Pork Center was
actually a spin off of Nahunta Hog Market and Slaughter House which had
been in business since the mid 1950s as a hog buying station and
custom slaughtering plant.
In
May of 1975 Mack Pierce, owner and operator, remodeled a bulk tobacco
barn and began a small pork retail center. The first week the Pierce
family processed a grand total of three hogs.
After selling out of meat within a
matter of a few hours of opening,
it was apparent that there was a demand for this kind of product
even in the middle of the country.
