D'Artagnan (food company)

Reporting $50 million in sales in 2008,[1] D’Artagnan employs 125 people, and has a fleet of 18 trucks that deliver products to restaurants throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

D’Artagnan's product line quickly expanded to include game meats and heritage breed poultry, organic chicken, heritage turkey, grass-fed beef, humanely-raised veal and pork, pheasant, quail, squab and prepared products like pâté, dry-cured sausages, smoked duck breast and duck prosciutto.

They procure meats from small family farms that are committed to humane, sustainable free-range, antibiotic and hormone free methods of animal husbandry.

[4] D’Artagnan's line of products became more available to the consumer public when it began selling items to major grocery stores Balducci's and the Food Emporium in 1996.

[citation needed] D’Artagnan celebrated its 25th anniversary in February 2010 with a week of food-and-wine-related events, live music, an art exhibition, a rugby game and dinners prepared by visiting French chefs and their American counterparts.
