Wholesome Foods is planning to expand soon in Right to Work Shenandoah County, Virginia. This will allow them to add a new meat slaughter facility. In order to cover the cost, the food distribution company is investing a total of $1.2 million toward the project. They also plan to create 12 new jobs. So this is great news!

From Area Development Magazine:

“We are excited to grow our business with the help of the Commonwealth and Shenandoah County through the AFID program. […] This expansion will increase our capacity, add jobs to our work force and provide a much needed service to the community and local farmers for years to come.†[…]

“As Virginia’s largest private industry, our agricultural sector draws its strength from the diversity of production and the entrepreneurial spirit of families like the Pences, whose company has served the Shenandoah community for more than 50 years. […] I thank Wholesome Foods for its commitment to the Commonwealth and wish them success in the future serving the farmers and consumers of Virginia and beyond.†[…]

“Virginia’s livestock producers benefit when family-owned companies with a strong commitment to local sourcing, like Wholesome Foods, make meaningful investments into the processing infrastructure. […] I am pleased that the Commonwealth could partner with Shenandoah County through the AFID program to support this important expansion of Virginia’s meat processing industry.â€
