Before food became something wrapped in plastic and forgotten about by the next day, there was s***e. This wasn't fancy food. It wasn't meant to be.

Across Europe, butchers and families preserved meat with vinegar, seasoning, patience, and hard-earned knowledge. Those traditions crossed an ocean with the people who carried them.

Eventually, they found a home here in the South.

And like so many foods that survive for generations, s***e became more than a recipe. It became a connection to family, to a place, and to the people who came before us.

For more than 50 years, we've been making s***e at T.L. Herring. Not because it's trendy. Not because it's fashionable. Because it matters.

Every slice tells a story that started centuries ago in Europe and found its way to Eastern North Carolina. Some people see s***e and think it's old-fashioned. We see it as history you can still taste. You can find our s***e at Food Lion, Piggly Wiggly, or you can stop by our facility and walk in!

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. Itโ€™s a reminder that freedom was paid for by ordinary young men who answered an extraordinary call.

In the 1940s, T.L. Herring Jr. left Wilson for college and was called to serve in the United States Navy. He earned his wings and flew Hellcats in the South Pacific during some of the fiercest fighting of World War II.

While overseas, he reunited with an old friend and former Charles L. C**n High School Cyclones co-captain, William โ€œTubbyโ€ Turner Jr., nearly two years to the day since they had last seen each other back home in Wilson.

During a combat mission, Turnerโ€™s aircraft was heavily damaged by enemy fire, destroying part of his elevator control. Somehow, he managed to keep the plane airborne and return to his carrier. After testing the aircraft, it was believed he could still land safely.

But as Turner came in on what was described as a perfect approach, rough seas caused the carrier deck to pitch upward. His plane struck front gear first, missed the landing wires, and bounced over the barriers.

Ahead of him on deck were other aircraft, with pilots still inside.

Knowing exactly where his aircraft was headed, Turner made a split-second decision. He pushed full power to avoid the parked planes and their crews, clipping the carrier bridge with his wing before crashing into the sea.

William Turner Jr. was lost that day, but because of his bravery and quick thinking, many others made it home.

Thatโ€™s why we honor Memorial Day.

Not just for history, but for men like Tubby Turner, who gave everything so others could live.

A local business owner recently trusted us to cut 100 USDA Prime ribeyes for a special event.

USDA Prime is the highest grade of beef available, known for the heavy marbling that makes every steak tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.

Whether you need steaks for a company gathering, customer appreciation event, wedding, fundraiser, or backyard feast, we can help.

Let T.L. Herring & Co. quote your next event.

Pretty sure Memorial Day calories are federally exempt.

Especially if the hotdogs are on the grill, the chili is from T.L. Herring & Company, and youโ€™re standing outside eating off a paper plate beside a cooler.

Thatโ€™s NC math right there.

Stop by and stock up on all your cookout needs before the weekend.

For folks outside this industry, itโ€™s hard to understand the pressure small meat processors carry every single day.

Families like ours at T.L. Herring & Company and families like the Neeseโ€™s have spent generations serving North Carolinians. Long hours, tight margins, constant regulations and the responsibility that comes with putting your family name on a product.

People see sausage on a breakfast plate. What they donโ€™t see are the inspections, paperwork, sanitation, staffing shortages, and sleepless nights behind it all.

We may compete in business, but we still respect and hope for the success of one another.

From all of us at T.L. Herring & Co., weโ€™re hoping the folks at Neeseโ€™s can quickly resolve these issues and continue moving forward safely, with the health and well-being of their customers remaining the top priority.

Support small family businesses when you can. Once theyโ€™re gone, a piece of local history goes with them.

Back then, local business meant everybody had a hand in helping each other succeed.

You built us truck bodies. You helped us find equipment. You kept our equipment running. You helped build our brand. And you helped us grow one conversation at a time.

Thatโ€™s how business worked around here, and honestly, it still means something to us today. Any of these look familiar? We'd love to hear!
