Private Brand supplier of high-quality frozen vegetables and canned vegetables to the retail, foodservice, and industrial sectors. With corporate headquarters in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, eleven plants and six distribution centers in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio, our locations place us close to our fields, assuring fresh product to our customers. In 1887, Albert Landreth recognized that Wisconsin soil could produce superior quality peas. He began operating out of a small hotel on the shores of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc – the humble founding of Lakeside Foods. With increasing refined production, Lakeside invested in higher quality products. Close partnerships with their farmers allowed for constant improvements in planting schedules and provided incentive for the best crop the farmers could produce. Lakeside expanded their original focus on peas to include green beans, tomatoes, corn, and even sauerkraut. The New Richmond, Wisconsin canning plant was the original Friday Canning plant, started by Carlton Friday in 1925. In 2003, Lakeside Foods acquired the New Richmond facility where it continues to produce canned snap beans, beets, carrots and potatoes today. The employees at New Richmond take great pride in production efficiency, quality of product and employee safety. The New Richmond plant began participating in OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) in 2012. The Voluntary Protection Program promotes effective worksite-based safety and health. In the VPP, management, labor, and OSHA establish cooperative relationships at workplaces that have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management system. Approval into VPP is OSHA’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health. Our estimated population is 8,650.
