There’s a right way to do pork.
We call it …
As your partner, our goal is to deliver outstanding pork, time and time again. We control our supply chain — from farms to processing plants to distribution. That’s our connected food system.
Altogether, it’s the Prairie Fresh® Way, and it keeps your customers coming back for more.
What Is the
Prairie Fresh® Way?
The Prairie Fresh Way is our rallying cry. It describes the meeting point between our connected food system and our relationship-focused service. For you, it means a consistent high-quality product, unbeatable service and ever-evolving food innovations. For your customers, it means delicious pork that satisfies bellies, hearts, and keeps them coming back for more.
The Prairie Fresh Way comes to life in three ways.
A Culture of Connection
Our connected food system is the cornerstone of the Prairie Fresh Way, but it’s only the beginning. Beyond that, we believe:
- In transparent and upfront business practices
- That healthy animals produce nutritious pork
- Care for the animals and environment is essential
- Feeding communities includes giving back with outreach programs
When you work with Prairie Fresh, your stores can bring fresh, delicious pork to everyone.
