Independent Meat Co.

Since 1904, Independent Meat Company has been proudly crafting high-quality meat products with heart, heritage, and hard work. What started with Grandpa Florence cutting meat by hand has grown into a thriving, fourth-generation family-owned business—and the core values haven’t changed a bit.

With a dedicated team of over 200 employees and trusted partnerships with multigenerational family farms across the Intermountain West, Independent Meat continues to champion small, family-run agriculture while delivering exceptional meat products to its loyal customers.

“We’ve seen a lot of change over the years,” says Patrick Florence, Owner and CEO, “but our commitment to our people, our community, and doing things the right way has never wavered.”

For over a century, Falls Brand has been bringing bold flavor and time-honored craftsmanship to tables, tailgates, and celebrations across the country. From natural hardwood smoked bacon and gourmet hams to old-fashioned franks, wieners, and sausages, Falls Brand offers a mouthwatering line of meats in a variety of package sizes tailored to fit every customer’s needs.

Manufactured in Twin Falls, Idaho under USDA inspection, Falls Brand and its sister line, Salmon Creek Farms Natural Pork, serve both retail and foodservice customers nationwide—and even beyond U.S. borders with pork exports around the globe.

You’ll find Falls Brand favorites in most Idaho grocery stores and specialty meat shops, as well as on plates at family dinners, concession stands, and holiday spreads. Always evolving, Falls Brand continues to roll out new products and flavor profiles, staying true to its roots while keeping things fresh and delicious.

Proudly Idaho. Boldly flavorful. Built on 100+ years of trust.

The Salmon Creek Farms Natural Pork model was conceived over 20 years ago. We have a unique production model that creates sustainable food that engages family farms, a single processor and select distributors in a transparent, USDA Process Verified & 100% traceable pork production system. The process is 3^rd Party Audited and measurable, resulting in consistent, high quality product with great eye-appeal.

The certified sustainable program addresses the environment, the people and the animals. It establishes sustainability standards and goals. The program is continually improved through sharing ideas, adapting to the ever changing market and through outside vendor audits that identify areas of improvement in enhanced humane animal handling and food safety. Hog farmers receive bonuses for raising consistent, highly marbled and juicy pork – just another way we can raise the bar on quality!

We are so thankful to be a part of the Idaho safe, healthy, and responsibly grown food community and look forward to makin’ bacon (and other delicious products) for another 100 years!
