About Swaggerty’s Farm
Since 1930, the Swaggerty Family has been making what is quite possibly the best pork sausage you’ll ever taste. Committed to producing only the very finest premium pork sausage products using the best ingredients to honor a tradition started back in 1930 by our grandfather, Lonas Swaggerty. Ask anyone who has ever tried Swaggerty’s Farm® Premium Sausage and they will tell you the flavor and quality is unmatched.
Lonas Swaggerty began producing sausage at a time marred by the great depression. Food was scarce and the money to buy it was difficult to find. From his Sevier County farm in Kodak, Tennessee, Lonas created a delicious and affordable quality sausage that became famous throughout the Great Smoky Mountains.
Our Story
1930s: Founded
In an effort to help keep their family farm and support local farmers in the community during the great depression, Lonas Swaggerty started selling sausage on the side. Using his family recipe, Lonas Swaggerty began producing a high-quality pork sausage that was affordable and available throughout the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountain region.
1940s: Selling in Knoxville
During the 1940s, like many local farmers and families, the Swaggerty family would sell their products on the streets of downtown Knoxville. In fact, the Swaggerty family even opened a brick-and-mortar location in Knoxville
1950s: Reputation of Quality
By 1952 the downtown Knoxville store had to close, but through the years, they had gained a steady collection of customers and built a reputation for 100% fresh pork sausage with a quality that was unmatched in the region. Although the store closed, the Swaggerty family continued to sell to local restaurants, stores, and customers by delivering personally.
