Raeford, N.C. — House of Raeford announced Friday that it will close its 400-employee turkey cook plant in Raeford within the next 60 days.
The closing had been anticipated since March 2013, when the company announced it would scale back turkey production because of declining consumer demand.
The company shuttered its turkey slaughter plant in Raeford and its turkey hatchery in Rose Hill last year, however, closing the cook plant was not part of the initial strategy.
