About

Home Market Foods (HMF) is a dynamic food manufacturing company that has established itself as a market leader in several prepared meat-based meal and snack categories. For over 50 years, the company has been dedicated to providing premium food products that meet the demands of American consumers. Originating as a purveyor of fresh meats, Home Market Foods has evolved into a major specialty provider of frozen meatballs, chicken, appetizers, and snacks for both retail and foodservice customers. The company's success is built on a foundation of excellence in innovation, manufacturing, and customer service, supported by a strong senior leadership team and dedicated owners. At the heart of Home Market Foods is a culture driven by a consistent focus on deep-rooted corporate values. These values include being 'Quality Minded' by producing top-quality products, 'Consumer Driven' by putting the consumer first, and 'Customer Focused' by satisfying customer demands and ensuring product availability. Furthermore, the company is committed to 'Building a Culture of Excellence' through investment in its team and facilities, and firmly believes that 'People Matter,' treating all customers and team members like family. Home Market Foods operates out of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Norwood, Massachusetts, which showcases its investment in providing the tools and resources for its team to create and promote its premium brands. New product development is spearheaded by an industry-leading R&D team whose creativity has made HMF brands market leaders by adapting to ever-changing consumer tastes. The company's commitment extends beyond taste to include the highest quality standards, as evidenced by its Safe Quality Food certification and rigorous environmental controls. Sustainability is a key focus, with efforts to minimize the environmental impact of waste disposal by reprocessing residuals into renewable energy and submitting by-products for composting. Home Market Foods has been an active participant in the US EPA’s WasteWise Program since 2013, continuously working to achieve its sustainability goals. With a business model centered on growth, HMF is on track to significantly expand its operations, including a recent investment of over $70 million in a new production facility in South Windsor, Connecticut, expected to create 210 jobs by 2027. This expansion reflects the company's strategic plan to enhance its manufacturing capabilities, drive innovation, and meet the growing demand for its category-leading meal solutions across North America.
