We Know Our Sources: Leidy’s Heritage Breed Duroc Pork

“Meat doesn’t just happen. It takes a lot of care and a lot of work.” This sentiment comes directly from the family farmers who raise Leidy’s premium pork. It is this underlying principle that has allowed Leidy’s to become a highly respected producer in the meat industry since their inception in 1893.

Located in Pennsylvania, Leidy’s pork products come from genetically superior Heritage Breed Duroc animals raised on nearby farms by expert farmers who are committed to quality. Because of its remarkable flavor, marbling and tenderness, you’re likely to come across Duroc pork on high-end restaurant menus. Thanks to Leidy’s commitment to quality, you can find the same pork in our stores for an incredible value.

With a shared passion for raising animals the right way, Leidy’s and their farmer partners hold animal health and welfare as their top priority, which results in a consistently delicious, natural product.

The partnership between Leidy’s and Heinen’s is longstanding and rooted in shared values of care and quality.

As one of the newest meat producers to become CARE Certified through Where Food Comes From, we’re proud to offer our customers premium pork products that are guaranteed to meet the highest standards of animal welfare, quality and taste!

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
