Our Mission

Heritage Foods was founded in 2001 to sell ancient breeds of livestock that were becoming extinct, largely because industrial agriculture willfully pushed healthy, heritage breeds aside for more profitable, faster-growing animals. Rare heritage breeds are saved when popular demand increases and farmers have the incentive to raise them. In other words, we must eat these breeds to save them! Our farmers raise animals humanely, outdoors, on pasture, and never with antibiotics or growth hormones. This creates the most delicious, supremely marbled, juiciest meat in the world that we deliver right to your door.

Words straight from our customers and chefs

So one of the positives in this pandemic is my discovering your company. Your food is delicious!!! I have a neighbor on a fixed income and I share what I cook with her. Your food makes things enjoyable. We feel grateful and fortunate.

Jocelyn from California

We are very impressed with the quality of the meat and other products you have supplied us.  The pricing is fair and the service really outstanding.  We will be happy customers for a long time.  Thanks for the country ribs, when we have a big barbecue, pandemic conditions permitting, they will become the central dish in that celebratory moment.

MAK from CA

We ate the steaks last night for one of my new employee's welcome dinner. So good - the fat tasted like straight butter. Country ribs are the unsung hero of your website! Man those were great.

Ben from California

Frank Reese's Aylesbury ducks were amazing. They were sweet and tender when cooked to medium rare, but they ate like a dry aged piece of meat. You could tell they were special... I've cooked millions of ducks and these are the best I've ever had. Really exceptional. 

Antonio, Quality Meats

The turkeys we had from you for Thanksgiving were the best we have ever found and we have been slow smoking birds for over 40 years.

Joe from CA

The best ham I have ever eaten in all my 63 years! Beautiful flavor, not too sweet, with a perfect balance of lean to fat. The texture of the meat is firm and absolutely perfect, and the fat is silky and delicious. It is the ham every other ham wishes it could be... the ham of dreams!

Denise from Wisconsin

My customers were saying it was the best pulled pork they’ve ever had and I’ve done pulled pork many times over the years. I think it was those magic shoulders you sent me last week. Thanks!

Danny, Southside/Lot 2

Just wanted to let you know how delighted I am with the Red Wattle Boston Butt and the Duroc Pork Belly you sent me in my latest order.  Both were wonderful.   The bacon I made with the belly (cured with maple sugar and syrup and smoked with apple wood) may well have been the best yet.

Mark B from New York

Thank you so much and for all you do to keep these breeds in existence.
