We welcome T.J. Russell, the chairman and fourth-generation owner of Cloverdale Foods. The Mandan, North Dakota-based food company creates high-quality, flavorful meat products that include bacon, sausage, deli meats, and snacks.
In our conversation, we talked about how the 110-year-old company reached the Century Club and what lessons and philosophies have been handed down through generations. We also discuss how Cloverdale formed an advisory board in 2023 as well as what it takes to have a high-functioning executive team made up of both family and non-family key leaders.
