"But we’ll save $ going direct?!"
We hear it every day; we understand the concern.
In order to thrive as a “middle-man,” we need to create our margin. And we’re proud to do exactly that through strategically approaching the markets, understanding yields and manufacturing processes, and leveraging our >50 million lbs of volume to negotiate with our global network of suppliers.
All of these efforts allow us to succeed as a business while saving our customers time, money, and headaches.
SUSTAINABILITY
focused
We are fully committed to leveraging our product knowledge to minimize food waste and create value for under-utilized cuts across the supply chain as well as supporting producers and manufacturers who share our values regarding animal and environmental welfare.

My family has been in the meat industry since my great-grandfather immigrated from Russia to the US. I’ve always taken great pride in my family’s protein legacy and hope today that the generations before me would be proud of the work Mission Driven has done to support our customers, suppliers, team members that have become like family, and a range of philanthropic causes.
Building this business alongside Benjamin, my father, and the rest of our partners and staff has been incredibly rewarding for so many reasons. While I am certainly thrilled with the business we’ve built, most of all I am pleased with our reputation for always doing things the right way – the way my dad, Papa Milton, and Papa Sam always did – and that our customers can always rely on us to be honest, fair, and deliver on our promises.
