Broadbent B & B Food Products is a food products supplier based in Kentucky, United States. It specializes in the production and sale of country ham, bacon, and sausage.
Broadbent's was opened in 1909 by Smith Broadbent Sr. and his wife, Anna Broadbent, with the purpose of selling their meats to friends, neighbors, and other residents of Trigg County, KY. [1] Though Broadbent catered to people throughout Trigg County, the main location was in Cadiz. The company was later passed down to Broadbent's grandson, Smith Broadbent III, in 1963. At its peak, Broadbent's was a vertically integrated company, as they raised, slaughtered, prepared, and sold their own products. The company also owned three total facilities: one in Pembroke and two buildings in Cadiz. [1] In 1965, the company expanded to include nationwide mail order, which in time became a large share of their sales. [2]
In 1999, Broadbent's was sold to Ronny and Beth Drennan, who were originally involved in the production of crafts and furniture. At this time, Broadbent's continued to sell their products nationwide through mail order, a giftshop, and a single wholesale customer. The Drennans however did not continue to raise their own livestock, instead outsourcing the production of pork to Premium Standard Farms in Milan, Missouri. [3] In 2008, the previous three facilities were merged into one central location in Kuttawa, which as of 2022 is still the primary processing plant. [1]
The Drennans also expanded into online sales, which as of September 2009 accounted for 50% of sales when combined with mail order, which was maintained through the transition between ownership. [1] In 2009, they celebrated the company's 100th anniversary.
Pork roll is a processed meat commonly available in New Jersey and neighboring states. It was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Trenton, and sold as "Taylor's Prepared Ham" until 1906. Though since then food labeling regulations require Taylor and all other manufacturers to label it "pork roll", people in northern New Jersey still call it "Taylor ham". The "Is it pork roll or Taylor ham?" question is a notable element of New Jersey culture, and the division over what name one uses divides the state along roughly north–south geographic lines.
