We are proud to share our Consortium Standards for our Berkshire Program and for our full Poultry Program at Heritage Foods. These standards are modeled after the format used by D.O.C. and D.O.P. products in Europe which trace all details of production to certify a product as traditional so that it can carry a government seal that signifies a quality product.
Slow Food was the inspiration for Heritage Foods and the Founder, Carlo Petrini, has died. He will be deeply missed. He was a titan — a once in a generation or century trailblazer whose message was to slow down and experience the pleasure of the table. His speeches would rise to a crescendo with calls for justice for artisans producing quality food, and outrage at the mediocre effects of monoculture on our lives and palates. “Ours is a pleasure movement”, he would say and “…since we all end up in the same place anyway, we might as well get there slowly.”
