Local Purveyor In Training

Company Overview: Since 1905, Boar's Head Brand has been the name you can trust for quality products and service. Our vision is to nourish the human spirit through the love of food. Boar's Head Brand was established in the New York City area in 1905. Dissatisfied with the quality of hams available, our founder Frank Brunckhorst set out to craft products of uncompromising standards by using only the finest ingredients. Since 1905, our standards of quality have never wavered. Our products are made of only the finest ingredients: whole muscle beef, pork and poultry, and spices sourced from around the globe. We pride ourselves on being master craftsmen in our industry, skilled artisans in meat and cheese preparation methods. We use time-honored recipes that call for hand-trimming our meats and applying our spices by hand. Our brand pillars are Family & Heritage, Artisanship, Leadership and Quality. Our secret ingredient has always been our people. Each person brings unique perspective, background, and experience to the table and this is what drives our culture of positivity, acceptance and support. We are a company that believes we win when we work together and connect over a passion for the highest standards in food.
