In the 1950’s, Irene Stratton and her husband JJ became interested in a small salad company named Mrs. Kinser’s, located in Knoxville, TN. JJ Stratton and a partner, Charles Weaver, started a second Mrs. Kinser’s in Knoxville and after about nine months he sold out to Weaver before moving to Birmingham, AL. With $700 of their money and $700 from a partner, they opened a plant near Birmingham in Ensley, AL and started selling chicken, ham, pimento, and potato salads., Our business has grown and our routes can now be found in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. Along the way, the company began delivering consumer oriented packaged meats under the Southwood Farms label as well as flour and corn tortillas., Traffic Cameras: WSFA Weather Camera505 East Three Notch Street, Andalusia, Alabama 36420 | (334) 222-3312 | Contact Us.
