A Family Legacy

Brookwood Farms embodies our family legacy of bringing the nostalgic flavors of real-pit-cooked Southern barbeque to your homes and restaurants. Located in Siler City, N.C., Jerry Wood founded Brookwood Farms in 1978, and forty years and four generations later, brothers Twig and Craig Wood carry on the tradition. While our business has expanded with modern manufacturing facilities, our methods have not changed. We still roast the best cuts of USDA-approved meat low and slow over hickory charcoal for the irresistible smoky flavors of real, pit-cooked barbeque.
