Ernst Names Small Business of the Week, Northwood Foods
Throughout this Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.
RED OAK, Iowa – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Northwood Foods of Worth County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.
“Built on prime values, Northwood Foods continues to make every cut count,” said Chair Ernst. “From fabrication to distribution, Northwood Foods has been delivering pork with precision and pride since 1998—serving clients, communities, and families worldwide.”
In 1998, Brian Burkard founded Northwood Foods with a vision to provide high-quality, tailored services for processing pork. The business expanded quickly, and in just two years, it began to serve clients both domestically and internationally. Northwood Foods had two major plant expansions in 2001 and 2006 and now operates a 40,000-square-foot facility that processes more than 600,000 pounds of fresh pork daily and produces a broad selection of cuts. In February, Northwood Foods celebrated its 27th anniversary.
