Brown Foodservice

Brown Foodservice carries a family name and a family tradition. We offer our service and quality products at a fair and competitive price. Starting back in 1939, George and Mary Jane Brown provided poultry, eggs, ham, sorghum, and other produce to the mining company communities in the Big Sandy coal fields. Well known as Sandy Valley Produce, the company's operations were based on a family farm in Richardson, Kentucky. Our business has grown throughout the years. It grew the same way it grows today: by making good decisions, by making sure that quality is as important as profit, by keeping our word, and by a lot of hard work. In 1942 the family founders moved the business to the town of Prestonsburg and added the family name to the company as Brown Produce Company. In 1952 service was vastly expanded to include frozen foods, canned goods, and restaurant supplies. Back then we were 20 employees strong, including 4 salespeople. We served 21 counties in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. In 1982 the company name was changed to Brown Foodservice to better reflect the increased scope of our product lines. Forty-two years after moving to Prestonburg (1942-1982) we had outgrown the plant facilities and the company was moved to our present location in Louisa, Kentucky.
