Ideal Meat & Specialty Food is a regional wholesale distributor specializing in
high-quality proteins, local grocery, and food service items.
Founded in 1950, we have grown from a small meat market to a top-notch distributor serving Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. We remain family-owned and dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service.
We serve national and regional grocery retailers, butcher shops, and restaurants.
We distribute throughout Indiana, western Ohio, southeastern Illinois and northern Kentucky.
We are proud to be one of the largest distributors of some of the Midwest's most popular brands, including St. Elmo's Seasonings & Sauces, Beeler's Pure Pork, Homemade Brand Ice Cream and many more.
Founded in 1950 by Nathan Stein, Ideal Meat & Specialty Food has always been a cornerstone for meat distribution in Indiana and the surrounding states.
We are excited to introduce our new tallow-cooked snack, crafted with the same dedication to purity and ancestral nutrition that have come to define Fat of the Land. This isn’t your average chip — it’s fried in 100% premium beef tallow, never seed oils, and we keep the ingredients clean and simple. You’ll be able to enjoy it in three craveable flavors: Simple Sea Salt, Back Porch BBQ, and Salt & Vinegar — each one delivering a satisfying crunch and familiar taste without artificial additives. Whether you’re after that classic salty crisp, a smoky barbecue kick, or tangy vinegar zip, we’re offering a snack that fits keto, paleo, and whole-food lifestyles. No refined sugars, no hidden preservatives—just honest ingredients you can trust, shipped shelf-stable and ready to eat.
