Operating under SGC’s Mill Street Local brand, the distributor will use Hertzog Meat Co.’s products for a fully local integrated supply chain.

“We’re excited to have found a great partner in Hertzog Meat for Mill Street local that shares our focus on superior quality and consistency while supporting our local ranchers and producers,” said Jeff Tynes, president and chief executive officer of SGC. “We’re excited to bring the product to consumers in the region and I have no double they will be impressed with the quality and craftsmanship from the Hertzog team.”
