Our founder, Louis B. Colameco III, started Wellshire Farms in 1996 for one reason: he was concerned that his children were eating over processed meats with no health benefits or nutritional value. Louis knew that, in order to live well, his children must eat well. With that philosophy, he began Wellshire Farms, the best representation of high quality, minimal ingredient, all natural meat products. Today, Wellshire Farms remains family-owned and operated and is sold exclusively at Whole Foods Markets nationwide.
