Castleberry's The Best of What America Loves Most!

It all started with Castleberry's Food Company. Founded in Augusta, Georgia in 1926, when Clement Stewart Castleberry first opened for business. Clement spent years watching his father, Mr. Clem, barbecue pork and beef for crowds as large as 12,000. Mr. Clem's cooking was the stuff of local legend, and his son knew a business opportunity when he saw one. He began canning his father's famous barbecue hash and Brunswick Stew in a humble shed downtown on Fifteenth Street. During World War II, the firm produced no commercial products, but worked tirelessly producing military rations. Mr. Clem was dubbed "The Rebel with The Pepper Shaker" and the U.S. Army bestowed on Castleberry, two "A" awards.

Hanover Foods purchased the Castleberry's brand in 2008. Hanover Foods is the largest independently owned food processor in the eastern United States. Since 1924, Hanover Foods Corporation has been an active leader in the growing, processing, packaging, marketing and distribution of an amazing variety of food products. Hanover Foods exceeds consumer expectations in the retail, food service, fresh home meal replacement, private label, military, club store and industrial venues.
