THE STEAKS HAVE BEEN RAISED
Meat is at the heart of our business, which was originally founded in the late 1800s as a butcher shop and cattle dealing business. Our company has spent the last five generations homing in on the most important standards for the programs and products that we source.
Our commitments to quality, animal husbandry and welfare, and environmental stewardship has led us across the globe in search of farmers, ranchers, and programs that don’t just uphold our same values but put them into practice them every single day.
We know where each product comes from. Whether we’re visiting the foragers that pick mushrooms throughout the Pacific Northwest or touring cattle ranches in New Zealand, we encourage our vendors to follow best practice standards.
With strong ties to a network of expert farmers, ranchers, artisans, fishermen, and foragers, we are able to eliminate the middlemen with a direct-to-consumer distribution model. A higher level of value and freshness is passed on to you.

COMPANY HISTORY
Five generations ago, in the late 1800s, our family immigrated to the United States from Germany and opened a butcher shop in Brooklyn, New York.
They soon moved to Shrewsbury, New Jersey and opened a slaughterhouse and cattle dealing business. By the 1940s, the business had expanded into a retail butcher shop and wholesale meat distribution.
Frank Marx (the fourth generation) continued in the family tradition, growing the company into a large meat processor and distributor by the 1970s.
Our sister company, North American Meats & More, is a foodservice distributor that launched in 1996 to provide top chefs and restaurants in the New York Metro area with the highest quality products they couldn’t find from other suppliers and has expanded to serve Seattle.
We realized many of the unique specialty products prized in those high-end restaurants were not nearly as accessible to home chefs. Many people who enjoy dining out also enjoy cooking and experimenting at home but obtaining obscure or finest-quality food items can be difficult and expensive.
Requests from consumers were piling in, so we launched Marx Foods in the early 2000s to share previously restaurant-only products and levels of quality with home cooks across the country.
Today, Frank and his three sons, Justin, Keith and Garrett, work together to evolve the family business in new and exciting directions and continue to travel the world to connect with farmers and producers, securing the very best for our customers.
