Partner With Family Farms

The Carlton Farms story began in 1956 with an unwavering commitment to provide our customers with the freshest, artisan, natural pork and premium beef products. With a commitment nurtured for nearly 70 years, Carlton Farms remains the obvious choice of purveyors and consumers. 

We source exceptional quality animals from Hutterite Colonies, some of the most self-sustaining pork producers in the country. Our commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship begins in the fields where families cultivate their crops for feed and balancing the humane hog-raising process from birth until they reach Carlton Farms. Hogs are fed a 100% vegetarian diet without hormones or growth accelerants.

Our small family farm partners are committed to providing Yorkshire genetics, which provides a superior eating experience. They receive a specialized feed ration containing barley, omitting corn from their diet contributing to a brighter white fat, a higher melting point, and enhanced marbling. This meticulous process results in a more flavorful and juicy product for the consumer, reflecting our dedication to quality and sustainability.

Handcrafted Quality

We’ve found a small, handcrafted batch is key to a superior culinary experience. The emphasis on being a small batch product means that each item is meticulously crafted with care and attention to detail. This artisanal approach allows for a level of precision and quality control. 

Carlton Farms is proud to add a personal touch, instilling a sense of craftsmanship and artistry into each item. With a deep passion for our craft, we’re pleased to bring you a high level of quality every time.

Gourmet Taste

Gourmet food is distinguished by an emphasis on quality, preparation, creativity, and attention to detail. Carlton Farms is proud to offer a gourmet taste as we go beyond mere nourishment and offer our customers a culinary journey that engages the senses and elevates the dining experience to a higher level.

Our products deliver an exceptional eating experience that begins on the farm with a breed selected for eating quality. The use of quality breeds further elevates the product, ensuring that the raw ingredients are of the highest caliber. By selecting these premium ingredients at the forefront, the product becomes a standout in terms of taste and texture.

People Focus

At Carlton Farms, every member of our team is considered part of our family, and we hold our people in the highest regard. We want each of them to challenge themselves, and to grow personally and professionally during their time with us. Which is why we work hard at providing them with a safe and productive environment in which to excel. Team members are eligible for scholarships to continue education, propelling their careers forward by gaining valuable knowledge, honing essential skills, and accumulating invaluable experience. 

Just as Carlton Farms believes that working with local growers, restaurants, and markets ensures the best products and the best experiences for consumers, so too do we believe in the power of supporting the community through philanthropic efforts. Not only do we encourage our employees to be involved — and support them by providing financial backing and donated products — but we’ve also lent our hands to community organizations, from schools and family service charities to civic development projects and youth sports groups.
