About Golden Farms | Wholesale Food Supplier

FROM THE FIELDS TO THE MARKETPLACE
TO THE CONFERENCE ROOM,
WE GROW TOGETHER LIKE FAMILY.

Golden Farms is real food. Our story begins with deliciously exotic, sustainably sourced produce that makes healthy eating fun. From the onion fields of the Netherlands to Costa Rica’s organic pineapple acres, Golden Farms partners with family owned farms to bring the world’s most delicious picks home to your kitchen. We take meticulous care at each step of our product's global journey to capture peak freshness and flavor. Seed to shelf and farm to fork -- from planning to cultivating and processing to packing -- every move we make is designed to give you delicioous quality, superior safety, and easy-to-enjoy convenience.

At Golden Farms, our team is like a big farm family. Real food is the passion we all share — and one we’ve pursued together for more than 28 years! From our start with pineapple in 1991 and crispy fried onions in 1999, we quickly grew to offer tropicals from mango to hearts of palm, plantain, and cassava. Whether we’re in your freezer or on your pantry shelves, we love connecting your palate with the goodness of Caribbean culture, new comfort foods, healthy snack ideas, tasty delicacies, and wholesome staples from around the world. We hope you'll explore our products and enjoy - we do!

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

JORN BUDDE

Founder

Jorn Budde was a food industry legend. Born in Silkeborg, Denmark, a young Jorn quickly catapulted from a start at Danish food company, Plumrose, to become president of Jimmy Dean Foods in Dallas, Texas. Jorn's ability to think big inevitably drove him to go out on his own. He founded Grosnez Management Inc., then founded and took The Unimark Group public - a move that earned him an Entrepreneur of the Year finalist nod from Forbes. After trying his hand at retirement, Jorn quickly realized it wasn't his style. Instead, he founded Pasco Foods, Inc. Over the next 20 years, Pasco's dramatic growth led one market expert to comment, "Jorn always saw the world in big pictures while most of the rest of us only saw the little steps to build a big picture."

Competitive by nature, Jorn was an avid golfer, card shark, world traveler, wine connoisseur, and history buff. To his family and closest friends, he was affectionately known as "Farmer Jorn" for the endless collection of animals roaming his modest ranch in Spicewood, Texas. His passions included PGA golf, NFL football, World Soccer, gastronomy, gardening, anything Danish, and most importantly, helping people. Pasco Foods' continued success is Jorn's legacy, and a direct result of his expert leadership and dogged determination to succeed. As the Pasco team pursues Jorn's vision, we'll always remember his brilliant mind, savvy entrepreneurship, generous spirit, larger-than-life personality, and deep devotion to family and friends. His was a life well-lived.
