THE HEARTLAND STORY

In 1967, Joe Stidman, at the age of 24, opened Heartland Meat Company in East San Diego, in the city of El Cajon. Having worked in production rooms as a teenager after school, he was always involved in the meat industry. He opened Heartland Meat out of necessity as the company he was working for and the customers he serviced was closing their doors. Hear it from Joe Stidman himself in this video!
