Heritage Foods
The Meat Supplier to America’s Top Restaurants
Patrick Martins founded Heritage Foods in 2001 with a mission to preserve endangered species of livestock from extinction. These species were the foundation of our food supply for 5,000 years, yet they receive almost no attention. Today, Heritage Foods supports over fifty family farms that raise Heritage breeds – the very foundation of our agricultural history and gastronomic identity – and supplies meat to some of America’s top restaurants, including New York’s Carbone and Gramercy Tavern, San Francisco’s Mister Jiu’s, and LA’s Bestia and Mozza.
These animals are raised humanely, outdoors, on pasture, using traditional farming techniques. The result is the world’s best-tasting, highest-quality meat – more marbled and boasting a far more profound taste and depth of flavor than what you’ll find at the supermarket. This is what meat used to taste like, and what it’s supposed to taste like, and with one bite you’ll understand the difference!
