Whole Foods was founded in 1980 on the belief that where food comes from, and how it’s grown, matters. It meant creating quality standards, working with suppliers who achieve them, and sharing that information with our customers. And it radically changed the way people understood and shopped for food. The result has been the highest quality natural and organic products, an unmatched experience in more than 500+ stores, with a passionate team of over 90,000 team members, 5 percent of our total net profits given back to our communities each year, and millions of customers who put their trust in us every day.

Our mission is Changing the Meat We Eat. That’s not the kind of thing that gets accomplished without a good plan and a great team to execute it. We believe that the road to our lofty goal is built on a foundation of creative ideas coming from great teams and individuals. This creative energy must be knit together into a plan that is in harmony at the customer, company, team and individual levels. We believe in providing effective tools and training to help make the most of an employee’s valuable time. We believe in Vision. We believe in Team. We believe in Openness. We believe in Results. We believe in Celebration. Are you ready to assist Applegate in Changing the Meat We Eat?

Schweid & Sons is a family-owned fourth generation ground beef purveyor, supplying restaurants, grocers and special events across the nation. In the late 1800s, Harry Schweid began selling quality meats to butchers and restaurants in New York City’s Lower East Side. By the 1950s, his son Sam Schweid continued in his father’s footsteps and established a successful meat shop in Harlem. In 1978, Sam’s son David Schweid took his family’s long-withstanding heritage in the meat purveyor industry and founded Schweid & Sons, a company that would focus on one product – ground beef. Today, that same passion, commitment and work ethic is carried on through David and his two sons Jamie and Brad, all with a dedication to producing the best tasting, highest quality burger. Located in Carlstadt, NJ, Schweid & Sons’ mission is to bring “The Very Best Burger” to consumers by offering a range of high quality ground beef blends and products including Certified Angus Beef®, custom blends, USDA Prime®, All Natural, Wagyu, among others.
