The LaFrieda Family and the Evolution of the American Meat Industry is a fascinating account of the family-run business that has been at the forefront of the meatpacking industry for over a century. This book tells the story of how the LaFrieda family came to America from Italy and how they built their business from a small butcher shop to one of the largest meatpacking companies in the world. The book also explores the evolution of the meatpacking industry in the United States and how the LaFrieda family has helped to shape that industry.

The LaFrieda family's story is one of hard work, dedication, and innovation. The family patriarch, David LaFrieda, emigrated from Italy to the United States in 1894. He settled in New York City and opened a small butcher shop on the Lower East Side. David's son, Pat, joined the business in 1921 and helped to expand the company. Pat's son, Pat Jr., took over the business in 1958 and continued to grow the company. Under Pat Jr.'s leadership, LaFrieda became one of the largest meatpacking companies in the United States.
