When my grandfather, Frank Vignieri, borrowed $35 from my grandmother’s cookie jar to start a meat packing company in 1936, he couldn’t have imagined what that investment would turn into. The company, known as Kenosha Beef, quickly grew its Midwest customer base thanks to a reputation built on customer satisfaction, high quality standards, innovative ideas, and exceptional tasting food.For more than seven decades, Birchwood Foods has been a leader in providing quality beef for the foodservice and retail industries. My father, Charles Vignieri (pictured), continued to successfully grow the company while never losing sight of the traditions and family values it was founded on.

Boar's Head Provisions is more of a ham than a bore. Under the Boar's Head brand name, the company manufactures and distributes specialty deli meats, cheeses, and soups to restaurants, grocers, and delicatessens throughout the US. Its products are distributed in distinctive black and red refrigerated trucks owned by its sister company, Frank Brunckhorst Company. Boar's Head has operations in Arkansas, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. The company was founded in 1905 by Frank Brunckhorst, who delivered his foods by horse-drawn wagon to small delicatessens and mom-and-pop stores in New York City. It is still owned and operated by his descendants.

It should be pointed out that chickens don't start out with fingers, but Brakebush Brothers produces plenty of 'em. The company manufactures processed value-added chicken products (wings, nuggets, patties, fingers, and strips) for sale through retail grocery and foodservice operators.

Brakebush Brothers, a family-owned company, was founded by William and Otto Brakebush in 1925.

A top Brazilian provider of fresh and frozen pork and poultry, it owns farms, slaughterhouses, animal-feed factories, incubators, and meat-processing facilities.
