At 4505 Meats, we take pride in enriching our community through sustainable and delicious food.
Our first-to-market Natural Chicharrones and Cracklins have found a niche in the industry and captured the current zeitgeist towards Paleo, Gluten free products. Chef and butcher Ryan Farr founded 4505 Meats as a whole animal meat company in 2009 with immeasurable help from family and friends. 4505 Meats began with a singular product of meaty deliciousness: the mighty chicharron. Today, we partner with small farmers and ranchers to produce the highest quality all-natural pork rinds on the market. We provide our customers with humanely-raised meat from ranchers committed to good husbandry practices and sustainability.
4505 Meats is a family owned company based in San Francisco, founded by chef Ryan Farr in January 2009. Initially launched with one product, the lighter-than-air Original Style Chicharrones, or “crispity clouds of porkaliciousness,” followed by Bacon-Studded Hot Dogs. The business has only grown from there: 4505 Meats operated stands at Farmers’ Markets all over San Francisco. From December 2012- July 2015, they ran a full-service whole animal butcher shop in the Mission District, where they sold responsibly and sustainably raised meat sourced from farms in Northern California.
The 4505 Meats legacy was built upon the values of whole animal butchery and a commitment to bringing quality & delicious products nationwide.
Irresistibly delicious, protein packed, meaty snacks will fill you up without weighing you down. Also, better meat means we source exclusively from a collective of small family ranchers that practice sustainable and humane husbandry techniques. Ryan, a butcher & chef, understands the importance of quality ingredients crafted with care. Our snacks are simply seasoned with the finest spices and nothing more.
