- Description: At Gold Kist, the chickens don't even get to see the road, much less cross it. An agricultural cooperative of 2,500 farmers (mainly in the South), Gold Kist is the #3 US chicken producer (behind Tyson Foods and Pilgrim's Pride). It markets whole and cut-up chickens, chicken parts, and other processed products under brands such as Gold Kist Farms and Young 'n Tender to grocery chains, the food service industry, and school and military systems. It also markets hogs, conducts peanut research, and builds and installs industrial wastewater treatment systems. The co-op provides financing for farmers and produces nuts through its 25% stake in US pecan processor Young Pecan Company.
