Union, NJ-based D’Artagnan distributes free-range meat and all-natural poultry, foie gras, mushrooms and truffles to high-end restaurants and retailers. It has 260 workers.
It has developed a network of independent farmers and ranchers who must abide by its quality and conscientiously-raided meat standards.
