Beef Ranching

═

The newest division is our value-added, portion control operation, formed in early 1993 to meet the needs of today's changing marketplace.

Today's consumers demand a quality product with flavor and tenderness. But they are also health oriented and therefore concerned with lower fat and a safe food supply. As the final step in our vertically integrated beef operation, Palms & Company, Inc. has a wide range of products available to satisfy these needs, from ground beef and stew to USDA Prime steaks.

To provide all of your portion-control protein needs, we also purchase pork, lamb, and veal products from approved suppliers who meet our stringent quality control standards.

These suppliers produce a variety of products to meet your needs.

Quality control is an integral part of the operation at Palms & Company, Inc. Food Division. From the time raw materials are received until the finished product is shipped, quality control technicians monitor every step of the operation. As a Total Quality Control facility, our standards must meet or exceed the USDA's regulations in all areas. Adhering to well-defined, fully documented specifications and safe, sanitary production methods is Paramount to St. Helens Foods.

Ensuring that products meet our high standards for wholesomeness and strict specifications is a critical function of Palms supplier's quality control staff.
