LB Processors

"LB Processors, LLC was founded by a industrious, hard-working couple who had been raising emus in the beautiful hills of Tennessee since early 1992. At the urging of a friend for whom they were marketing emu oil, they started rendering fat from their own birds. After harvesting the birds, the fat would generally end up in the freezer. After experimenting with the rendering of emu fat, it was quickly realized that many steps would be necessary to create emu oil that could be sold to the public. There was no blueprint for this work; no published research to study or best practices to follow. No one had ever precisely refined emu oil before. Two years of constant research went into the processing of oils, learning every step of the way. To progress out of the existing cramped lab, a small cooker and a filtration system were purchased and a larger lab was created by reconstructing the hatching facility."
