The parties said they want to enhance Randall Farms’ product offering and scale the business further.

Randall Farms provides processed and value-added meats, including prepared meals and marinated, ready-to-cook offerings. It mainly services retailers based in California, the Pacific north-west, Arizona, Texas, Nevada and New Mexico.

Bloom said: “My family founded Randall Farms in 1952 as a small poultry farm raising chickens to sell to local supermarkets. I’m so proud of all of our team’s hard work and how far we’ve come to become an established partner of choice to grocery stores looking for affordable, value-added protein offerings.”

He added: “We are thrilled to have found a new owner in Highview that strongly believes in the business and has the tools necessary to take it to the next level.”
