Anthony Brinkley

Meet Anthony Brinkley, one of our feed mill operators. Anthony usually starts his day by loading feed trucks that are bound for our farms and other farms across North Carolina. He then writes and pulls feed samples and sends them to labs to ensure we meet our mission of providing the highest quality feed. He also mixes feed ingredients to make different formulas of feed to meet the needs of the livestock we are feeding.

Anthony has been a Braswell Family Farms family member for 25 years, but his relationship with the Braswell’s reaches past those 25 years. Anthony’s father and uncle worked at the original milling location at Bodie Mill, so it is only natural that Anthony began his career here at the age of 19.

Over his 25 years at Braswell, Anthony as worked in most areas of the business. He began his career delivering pullets before moving to our Red Hills farm where he was responsible for multiple things including gathering eggs. Now, Anthony enjoys his role as a feed mill operator and even delivers feed on occasion. On the occasions he gets to deliver feed, Anthony enjoys being on the road and being able to think. He also enjoys meeting the customers.

In his free time, Anthony can be found grilling. He is famous for his barbeque sauce, ribs, and chicken, and loves it when his entire family comes over to enjoy.

Although grilling is his area of expertise, Anthony enjoys firing up the skillet for his Braswell Family Farms eggs. He likes them best soft scrambled or over easy, although he’ll eat them just about any way.
