Core offering

Cloverdale Foods Company is a fourth-generation, family-owned meat processor founded in 1915 that manufactures and sells premium branded packaged meat products, including bacon, summer sausage, ham, deli meats, franks, and meat snacks (Tangy Snackers). The company operates three distinct go-to-market channels: consumer retail grocery (with a Midwest-rooted national footprint and an Amazon storefront), a national foodservice division (cloverdalefoodservice.com) serving restaurants and operators, and a B2B co-manufacturing service that contract-produces bacon and meat snacks for other food brands, supported by planned 2025 infrastructure investments.

Product overview

Cloverdale Foods Company ("Big Flavor Country®") operates as a multi-channel, single-brand packaged meat portfolio anchored on its flagship Cloverdale Bacon, Summer Sausage, Tangy Snackers meat snacks, Ham, Deli Meats, and Beef Lil Smokies product lines, sold through a brand-trademarked retail consumer site (cloverdalefoods.com), a dedicated Foodservice channel site (cloverdalefoodservice.com), the Cloverdale Country Store direct storefront, a Retail Sales Portal for B2B sales reps, and a Co-Manufacturing services arm specializing in bacon and meat snacks. The portfolio is tightly integrated around the Cloverdale master brand rather than multiple sub-brands, with the retail bacon and summer sausage lines serving as perennial classics and the Tangy Snackers meat-snacks line plus Triple Smoked / Extra Thick Cut bacon SKUs representing the newer growth and co-manufacturing focus areas slated for further 2025 infrastructure investment.
