Setting this up on behalf of the Hurd Farm - news below:

We are writing to you with heavy hearts today to share some devastating news.

After a very successful first day of processing yesterday, we are deeply saddened to report that a fire occurred in the equipment shed overnight, where our processing operation was set up. We are incredibly thankful that no one was injured.

However, the damage is extensive. The building is a complete loss, and all of our processing equipment has been ruined. Unfortunately, we also lost approximately 75 live birds, as well as the majority of the turkeys that had already been processed.

This is a very difficult and unexpected setback for our family and our business. At this moment, we are focused on assessing the full extent of the damage and are unsure of our immediate next steps for recovery.

We ask for your tremendous patience and support as we navigate this challenging period. We promise to communicate a full plan and timeline for how we intend to move forward as soon as we have one in place.

Thank you for your incredible loyalty and understanding as we work through this recovery. We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the amazing firefighters who responded to the scene.

Sincerely,

The Hurd Family
