Today, the Crider Foods administrative and manufacturing headquarters in Stillmore, Georgia, is a far-cry from its humble beginnings in 1977. The site includes a 110,000 sq. ft. warehouse which was added to meet the growing demands for their products and a lab for nutritional testing and safety. PHOTO BY JOHN RIDDLE
One wall in the lobby of the Crider Foods headquarters is dedicated to the history of the business. It includes the old black wash pot (far right) which is the very one Billy’s mother would use to clean chickens back when she and Billy’s father, Ahtee, first started the chicken business. Billly and Ann are standing by the chicken processor he used while working for his father, whose photo (top) is a constant reminder of all that he started.
