For more than 50 years, Gaylord’s Meat Company has proudly served the foodservice industry from our home in Fullerton, California. What began with Master Butcher Gaylord Smith’s passion for high-quality ground beef has grown into a trusted, family-owned wholesale meat and food distributor serving Orange County, Los Angeles County, the Inland Empire, San Diego, and the High Deser. 

Today, Gaylord’s supplies restaurants, schools, caterers, distributors, and food manufacturers with fresh ground beef, quality cuts of beef and pork, chicken, turkey, fish, shrimp, cheese, frozen products, and more. Our fresh ground beef is produced in-house daily and delivered never frozen, continuing a tradition established by Gaylord more than five decades ago.

Now led by Lauren Schade, following her father Dan Schade, Gaylord’s continues to combine personal service with competitive pricing, custom cuts, specialty sourcing, and dependable delivery. Operating as a USDA-inspected facility with an extensive supplier network, we can also help customers source specialty products and hard-to-find items beyond our everyday product selection.
