Redwood Farms Meat Processors

About

We're about as passionate as you'll see Midwesterners get.

Ours is a genuine love of custom-cut, quality pork.

Welcome to the farm!
Redwood Farms Meat Processors was built out of a passion for the Great American Farm and its traditions. You’ll see that in our people, our products, and in the partnership with our parent company, Farmers Union Industries (FUI).

FUI has been supporting family farms for 90 years, and while we’re just getting going, we’re starting with that same foundation of hard work.

We’re pork processors in the heart of Pork Paradise, otherwise known as Iowa.
The only thing that beats our location here in Estherville is our full line of custom-cut pork products. From loins, ribs and picnics to offal items, we process and package quality meats for retail, food services, medical markets, further processors and export.

And, like your demanding standards for the products you buy, our standards for ethics and integrity—along with customer service, supplier partnerships, community and company—soar, as we like to say, as high as an Iowan sunrise.

Why pick Redwood Farms MP?
We love pork, pure and simple. And we create custom cuts, according to your specific needs. What’s more, we continually invest in our people, facilities, innovations, safety and in animal health and well-being. So you’ll always know you’re getting the best.

What makes us different?
Our purpose is to provide farmers the best market pricing for off-spec hogs and to produce the highest quality pork for our customers. No one else can say the same.

A solid history with a strong future.

Redwood Farms MP, formerly Dakota Pack, was founded roughly 20 years ago in South Dakota, and on its first day, processed just 75 hogs. It was a small business with big potential.

Over the years, the company increased its physical footprint and market position, relocating to a larger facility in Estherville, Iowa, (our current home) in 2002.

By 2012, the plant was harvesting 1,100 hogs in eight hours—a sure step up from its humble beginnings—and after becoming part of the FUI family of companies, the number is nearly 2,400 a day.

Currently, Redwood Farms MP is in the next phase of development, using the sure footing of FUI’s foundation and reputation. We’re undergoing an expansion that will double our capacity and bring the latest packing technology to our processing floors. This expansion, coupled with our industry reach (including domestic and international export) will continue to drive growth and job development in the region.
