Because he liked to sit and listen to old folks talk, a Tennessee farm boy became known as “Old Folks”.
F.B. was accustomed to his family’s homemade country sausage and found there was none available in the city, so he started making his own in the fall of 1932, using only the choice cuts from the whole hog. These were ground and combined with the right blend of salts, sages, and pepper.
When packing his lunchbox for work, Daddy would take leftover biscuits from the breakfast table to go with his own “Purnell” sausage. Once he shared his lunch with a helper who enjoyed it so much he offered to buy whole hog sausage from F.B. That popular lunchbox started F.B Purnell in making old fashioned country sausage a business.
In 1944, “Old Folks” gave up his job with the railroad because of a disability and the making of whole hog sausage from his special recipe became a fulltime family business.
By 1955 “Old Folks” had purchased land in Simpsonville, Kentucky, and built a new plant with its own water and sewage system. The F.B. Purnell Sausage Company was here to stay.
Since 1983, the sons have owned and operated the business.

At George’s, Inc. their people set the standard by providing consistent quality poultry products worldwide everyday.
Their mission is to satisfy customers with consistent quality poultry products and service. Profitability and growth will be achieved through optimum product mix, efficient production and employee development in a safe and supportive work environment.
The George’s story begins in the late 1920’s. The first George family business in Northwest Arkansas was a general store founded by C.L. George in the Brush Creek area, located just west of Springdale, Arkansas.
Later C.L. moved the George family into Springdale and began operating the Farmer’s Produce Company. This company specialized in hauling live chickens to markets in Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit and Chicago. The company also dealt in fruits and vegetables.
C.L. built and managed Farmer’s Produce Company with the help of his two sons, Luther and Gene. From the very beginnings of the operation, C.L. and his sons took pride in satisfying their customers. The Georges believed that hard work and determination were the keys to customer satisfaction and success.
After the deaths of his father and brother in 1969, the company was carried on by Gene George. That same year the company evolved into George’s Feed and Supply.
During the 70’s Gene and his son, Gary, worked to see George’s grow from a small family business serving local and regional markets to a major integrated broiler and egg operation which produces hundreds of different poultry products sold all over the nation and world.
Since 1983, under the leadership of the George family, George’s Inc. has more than doubled egg and quadrupled poultry production.
