With a history of excellence in production and distribution, Palmer Food Services welcomes Smith Packing.

The Smith Family has been committed to quality, service, and customer satisfaction since 1911. With histories of family operation, similar values, and generational commitments to quality, service, and satisfaction, the Smith and Palmer organizations became stronger together.

Beginning in 2024 and completed in 2025, Palmer Food Services welcomed the Smith Packing Company into the fold. 

Custom Meat Processor & Manufacturer

Palmer Foods proudly continues the Smith tradition of manufacturing, processing, and distributing only products that meet our high quality standards.

Making great products starts with using great ingredients. These formulations are ingredient-focused and contain no mechanically-separated poultry, by-products, offal, or fillers. Honest John’s products–staples of the Smith portfolio and a welcome addition to the list of Palmer house brands–contain a lower sodium and fat content than most leading national brands.

As of January 2025, the legacy of quality production continues in Central New York as Palmer Foods extends its meat production operation out of the former Smith Packing facility in Utica, New York.
