It’s our people that drive our success
With over 60 years of history, Prime Source Foods is the largest independently owned, center-of-the-plate food distributor in New England and Eastern New York. We have over 3,000 customers and provide a full line of proteins and provisions, including all-natural and local products.

Work-life balance
At Prime Source Foods, you not only can grow and advance in the company through internal promotions, but we offer three shift options to allow you the ability to work around your personal scheduling needs. Work-life balance is very important to us, and we make sure our employees can live their best lives both at work and at home. For example, our exceptional team of delivery drivers starts their day early and can be home in time for dinner with their families every day!
State-of-the-art headquarters
Our new, state-of-the-art Londonderry, NH headquarters boasts over 100,000 square feet of warehouse space including refrigerator/freezer storage and a refrigerated dock, as well as a custom Culinary Innovation Center with a full kitchen with presentation room, processing room, and corporate offices with training facilities.
Innovation
Our innovation led to the creation of The Prime Cutting Room, which was developed to fill a need for restaurants, butchers, and markets to deliver product to exact order specifications on the type of protein, and in the quantity our customers need. Because we offer custom cuts in-house, our customers can eliminate the hassles associated with bulk protein distribution, such as food waste, unnecessary spending, and time cutting and selling less popular cuts.
