Gainesville’s title as “Poultry Capital of the World” now will include a locally produced taste of Russia. Stemming from an idea several years in the making, an American company will produce and market Russian-style chicken products for sale in the United States. First Fresh Foods, operating within Prime Pak Foods at 2076 Memorial Park Drive, is beginning production of the processed chicken products initially for marketing and sales in the northeastern United States.
