About Us
Chris England stepped into the agriculture industry in the 1990s when he purchased a 225-acre farm in Claiborne County, Tennessee that otherwise would have been subdivided and developed. Soon he began operating the farm and raising animals to provide his family with a healthier, higher quality alternative to meat produced at a large scale for stores. His final goal was to eventually be able to complete the entire “field to food” process without having the animals ever leave his farm. After years of eating his own farm raised beef & pork and tasting the difference, Chris and his son, Alex, decided to construct a processing facility on the farm to provide local farmers & families with sanitary, high quality meat processing. Being able to offer his own farm-raised beef & pork to the community was also very important, so they worked with the United States Department of Agriculture during construction to ensure our facility exceeded all requirements for sanitary meat processing. Down Home Processing, Inc. officially opened for business in 2015 processing Beef, Pork, & Deer as well as offering a wide selection of local beef & pork products. Today, after operating through the COVID-19 pandemic, Down Home Processing is still owned and operated by The England Family.
