FEEDING AMERICA SINCE 1927

Lower Family Foods

For nearly a century, Lower Family Foods has built its business around family, craftsmanship, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. What began as a small meat-processing operation in northern Utah in the 1920s has grown into a fourth-generation family enterprise producing premium meat and deli products for grocery stores, restaurants, foodservice providers, and other customers across the country.

Today, Lower Family Foods operates from Richmond, Utah, where it combines generations of experience with modern food-production technology and rigorous quality standards. Its extensive portfolio includes premium beef, pork, poultry, deli meats, specialty products, and cheeses offered through brands such as Deli Craft, Carver’s Craft, Smoke Craft, Nature’s Craft, Artisan, Bridgerland, and Carne Azteca, along with premium offerings featuring Certified Angus Beef® and Snake River Farms products.

Despite its growth, Lower Family Foods has maintained many of the qualities that have defined the company for generations. Its products emphasize traditional methods such as slow open-oven roasting and natural hardwood smoking, while its operations incorporate sophisticated food-safety and quality-control systems. The company maintains separate raw and cooked processing facilities, comprehensive traceability and testing programs, and gluten-free and allergen-control standards.

Businesses like Lower Family Foods demonstrate what can happen when an entrepreneurial family combines a long-term vision with a relentless commitment to its products, employees, customers, and community.

From a small family operation to a nationally distributed food manufacturer, Lower Family Foods represents generations of thoughtful growth—and a Utah business story that is still being written.
