№ 01 / Our StoryAbout

A family business, five generations deep — still on East Sixth.

East Poultry has spent 113 years doing one thing well: putting honest poultry and meat into the hands of the people who feed Austin. We're a wholesaler at heart — grocers, restaurants, taquerías, BBQ joints, and the home cooks who know to come by — and we've been at the end of East Sixth for more than half a century.

The business passed from Leonard and Alvin East, to Alvin's son-in-law Kenneth Aune, to Kenneth's son Brian, and now Brian's son Hudson has joined to carry it forward. Five generations of the same family answering the same phone.
