Premium Services Built on Traditions

Beef, Pork, Poultry, Seafood and Appetizers is what we do and we do it right! An on-site USDA inspector works closely with Dudley Poultry staff, to assure that products are handled properly from the moment they arrive at our facility until they reach your door. Dudley Poultry located in the Finger Lakes Region of NY has been a family owned USDA custom cut meat processor and wholesale distributor for over 55 years delivering to restaurants, grocery stores and caterers within 100 miles of our expansive facility. Over these years, Dudley has forged lifelong partnerships with some of the biggest most respected names in suppliers and those relationships continue today enhancing our ability to purchase right and pass those prices along to our wholesale and retail customers. We know service counts, but price matters and we pride ourselves on both!

Respecting our Heritage

We cannot help but reflect on our rich history here at Dudley and the pride in serving our community then and now. The character on which this organization was built remains our solid foundation today.

2001: Peter and Linda Jackson sold Dudley Poultry to their daughter, Teresa Jackson. Under Teresa’s ownership, Dudley continued to add new products and invest in the future by putting resources back into the equipment and building. Today Dudley remains under the leadership of Teresa and continues to be present for customers and employees as it has been for over 55 years.
Peter and Linda
1985: Dudley Poultry was sold to Peter and Linda Jackson local successful business people. They expanded the product offerings to include among other items, Beef & Pork.
1963: Emerson Produce Sold to long time employees Donald Dudley and Lloyd Button. The two agreed to change the name to Dudley Poultry because of Dudley's name recognition, as a well-known salesman.

-Our Team Takes Pride In Serving You-

“Do that which is assigned to you and you cannot hope too much or dare too much.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Work hard, pay attention to details and give it 110% everyday!”
– Jack Wilkins

Jack Wilkins, Operations manager

While both Teresa and Jack have direct reports, the organizational chart is flat by definition as the philosophy here at Dudley is keeping senior leaders close to the frontlines and reducing the middle management theories that work well for other organizations. Teresa believes in a ‘Culture of Kindness’ and keeping close to the employees brings those opportunities to recognize and demonstrate this within the organization. Dudley is designed to serve the customers and all the employees play a hand in that whether on the front lines facing the customer or serving someone who is facing our customers.

The business structure is built on: Sales, Production, Truck Drivers, Night Crew, Maintenance, Office Administrators and Retail Hospitality Staff.
