Firsthand Foods
Firsthand Foods, a women-owned food hub, champions pasture-raised meats sourced from North Carolina farms, fostering a community that prizes people and the planet. Founded on serendipity, determination, and community support, their journey began in 2008 when Jennifer, then Director of NC Choices, crossed paths with Tina, pursuing her MBA at UNC-Chapel Hill. United by a shared commitment to family farmers and preserving North Carolina's agricultural legacy, they recognized in each other kindred spirits dedicated to effecting positive change through business. Specializing in Carolina Beef & Lamb, Firsthand Foods embodies the belief that business can be a force for social and environmental good. Their mission underscores a dedication to sustainability, community, and the well-being of all involved in their supply chain.
