Notes:
At a Glance: Heritage Foods USA helps preserve traditional foodways (the kind of food that has been grown/raised for generations, not the kind grown by large-scale factory farms) by selling foods from small farms to consumers and wholesale accounts. Along with the large variety of animal products, Heritage Foods USA also sells dry goods, including an array of Native American grains.

Best for: Consumers having trouble finding sources of traditional foods in their area, or consumers looking for a particularly rare food available only in certain parts of the country.

Standout Features: Traceability: All products purchased through Heritage Foods USA come with a sticker identifying the breed name and the traceability number that can be entered into a space in the website to get more information on the history of the particular food product.

Keep in Mind: Though Heritage Foods USA is a profitable commercial enterprise, it helps support the farmers and other food producers that may not be able to compete with factory farms if it weren’t for the services provided by Heritage Foods USA and other like-minded businesses. Also, an (unspecified) portion of Heritage Foods USA’s proceeds are given to a non-profit organization like Slow Food, The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and The Agrarian Adventure.
