FRESNO, Calif. — Zacky Farms, a family-run company that rose to prominence as a leading turkey producer, has officially announced its closing plants in Fresno and Stockton.
About 1,000 workers will be impacted, a company official said.
The company posted a statement on its website, saying it struggled to remain profitable despite attempts to seek business and capital.
“...those exhaustive efforts have been unsuccessful and Zacky must now proceed with steps to cease operations. As Zacky winds down, it is presently expected that all operations will completely cease on January 19, 2019,” the statement said. . .
