Every chef and every kitchen is unique, and for over 20 years Pilot Brands has striven to provide exceptional meats that align with your particular needs. These mouth-watering lamb, beef, venison, and goat cuts are pasture-reared, painstakingly trimmed, and presented with the professional chef in mind. Our peerless, signature Pilot Brand lamb is a high-end chef favorite, while our Chef Brand provides quality meat products for those who need a conventional offering. Exclusive to Pilot Brands, our grass-fed Firstlight™ venison and Wagyu beef add excitement and interest in the kitchen and bill of fare. In addition, our Emerald Bay brand offers an affordable, 100% net weight range of quality seafood products to round out your menu.

We know the high standards you expect in the meats you serve, not only in the simple goodness that comes from natural grass-fed rearing, but in humane treatment, empathy for animal and environment, and in the highest levels of attention to specification and trim. Without any form of government subsidy, our farmers have become expert in naturally rearing quality animals—their livelihoods depend on the quality you can taste. Animals are allowed to graze at will on open pastures and are nurtured under strict, independently audited animal welfare and quality assurance programs. Reared without antibiotics or added hormones, tender and trimmed to a sublime standard—truly chef ready—our range of meats will delight and inspire the culinary professional. Great ideas will flourish from quality, as may be seen on our Inspiring Ideas page.

The longer road is often a better way, and our exceptional meats come from letting nature take its course. Temperate climate and bountiful pastures permit many small farming families to raise sizeable herds and flocks—a natural abundance unmatched internationally. The scale of this bounty allows us to select for quality and constancy in provisioning the kitchen; tender, like-sized cuts of exacting trim available without interruption. Indeed, this natural advantage means that grass-fed meats have a lower environmental impact than their intensively produced grain-fed counterparts, even with transport considered. Raised with a healthy, natural efficiency, these succulent meats are truly outstanding.
