About Heritage Meats
Heritage Meats has established a trusted reputation for providing high-quality, locally sourced meats to the north east Ohio community.
Our mission is to become the destination for essential foods that are packed with unrivaled flavor and have a beneficial impact on your family’s health and vitality. We are focused on providing a premium quality eating experience that you can trust completely.
Our new team, led by local farmer Mark Miller and respected agricultural consultant John Kempf, is expanding Heritage Meats' legacy by raising the bar on everything we offer—from our beef to our expanded line of pastured pork, chicken, and dairy items (read more about the business's transition here).
Our Unwavering Quality Standard
We are working to develop our own supply chain, partnering directly with regional farms that meet our rigorous quality standards.
We are developing an expanded line of products that are selected to ensure both exceptional flavor and superior nutritional value:
- Tested and Measured Nutritional Density: We aim to provide foods that are nutrient-dense and contribute to your family's health and vitality.
- Narrow Omega-6/3 Ratios: Our focus on feeding and sourcing practices helps ensure a healthier fatty acid profile in our meats and other products.
- Genetics Selected for Tenderness and Flavor: We prioritize the eating experience first, especially when it comes to beef.
- Specially Formulated Feed: Our pork, poultry, and grain-finished beef will be coming from animals fed a specially designed grain mix to produce high Omega-3 and phytonutrient content, ensuring a clean, healthy meal for your family.
