our story

It takes more than premium meats and marinades to be the preferred meat provider in New England. It requires a centuries-old family culture dedicated to understanding what buyers want and exceeding customer expectations.

Founded in the fall of 1917 by Carlo and Vincenza Crocetti with less than $500 in their pocket, the couple opened a neighborhood grocery store in East Boston. Word soon spread beyond the neighborhood about the exceptional quality of Crocetti family foods, and the business steadily grew.

The family hasn’t ever slowed down and we continue to strive to be Only The Best!

That tradition is carried on by Carlo Crocetti, the 4th generation of the Crocetti family line. Carlo continues what his great grandfather started – providing premium meats prepared for the way people prefer to cook, the quality they expect, and the flavors they demand. It was a winning recipe in 1917, and it continues to be a winning recipe today.

Our flavor profiles have been leading this market for years, mainly the industry-leading Original Bourbon Street Sirloin Tip. From the savory infused Asian Fusion Sirloin tips, to our bourbon marinated beef, turkey, chicken, and pork cuts with a bold salty-sweet bourbon flavor, Carlo and his team have created the exceptional line of Oakdale Farms Marinated Meats to bring Only The Best Marinated Meats to everyone as we continue to innovate new products!
