The LaFrieda Story
is a Family Story

100 years ago in Italy, our great-grandfather Anthony lost a fistfight outside a butcher shop.

A job offer from the sympathetic owner would prove Anthony had a knack for the trade, eventually leading him to open his own shop on America's shores.

Now in our third generation, we've never stopped fighting for wat we believe in, especially to give restaurants and home across the country access to America's highest quality meats.

We Changed the
Meat Game.
