Who and What We Are-
The Preferred Philosophy

You have selected Preferredmeats.com because of our dedication to quality and freshness. We specialize in Kobe beef, premium Hereford beef, Berkshire (Kurobuta) & Duroc pork, lamb, game birds, game meats, fresh sausages and specialty cured and smoked meats.

Preferredmeats.com. was founded with a single goal in mind - To provide the highest quality products available. To develop this goal, Preferredmeats.com has focused on finding the highest quality products available, and then maintaining that quality. To accomplish this, we have gone to the growers and producers of our fine products to learn how their products are raised, handled, what they are fed, and how they are processed.

With this knowledge in hand, we at Preferred Meats inc keep in close contact and communications with our customers to better understand their individual needs, then provide them with the best quality products and cuts. Our "preferred cuts" are tender. We cut for better yields. Our all-natural hangar steaks are always "pan ready". Tunnel boned quail are ready for stuffing or grilling. Our Kurobuta and Duroc pork are from small family farms.

Our chefs are ready to answer your culinary questions anytime. This philosophy continues throughout our product line. We will work with you to achieve the best product for your needs.

What makes Preferred Meat different from most meat companies? Foremost, we are proud that we remain an independent, family-owned business that is committed to our core values to source and provide the highest quality meats available to our chefs and retail customers.  Why is this important to us and how does it play into our core values?

Well, here are three critical areas that Preferred Meats focuses on, why we are the size we are, and why you can rely upon us for quality and consistency time after time:

1. Preferred Meats establishes partnerships with reliable farmers with small to medium size operations who are passionate and vigilant about raising animals humanely and responsibly, without the use of sub-therapeutic antibiotics and added hormones.
   
2. We are passionate in sourcing breed-specific programs – like Berkshire Pork, Suffolk Lamb, and Wagyu Beef -- so that our customers are ensured a consistent product. Breed-focused programs curtail inconsistencies often found in commodity and even natural programs that cross many different breeds in a single program. Consistent products help build trust with our clients that product quality will not change.
   
   
3. Preferred employs a relationship-oriented, knowledgeable service team who is committed to keeping you happy. From the chefs and farmers on the sales staff – to the expert meat cutters that have been with the team for years, we are here to help you achieve your protein needs and inspire culinary creativity, as well as respond to the constantly changing desires of your guests and customers.

As one of our chef/clients said, “It’s important for a chef to have someone that is knowledgeable about products and pays attention to your needs, that can introduce product based on the understanding of the menu through communication and not just someone who is trying to push a product off on you.
I think that type of service is rare in this industry. I wish every company was like Preferred.”

We really don’t think we can say it better ourselves, then again we would rather have someone else say that about us. And that pretty much sums up the philosophy we work by.
