Families working together to provide protein

"Actually, it was all part of the grand plan," said Gary Cooper, Cooper Farms Owner. Cooper and his family's involvement in the agricultural industry didn't happen overnight, having begun in the 1930's! 

Real pig farming families, such as the Coopers, have been backbones of the industry for decades and will continue to grow and adapt for decades to come. They prioritize animal well-being, the importance of family, and the value of raising high quality affordable protein. 

Ohio pig farmers are dedicated to raising and producing the delicious, nutritious pork protein that ends up on your plate. Real Ohio pig farmers, such as the Coopers, partner with families across Ohio to provide the highest quality care to their pigs.
