Young American Food Brands, the US-based meat supplier formerly known as Miami Beef, has secured investment from Falfurrias Management Partners. The transaction marks the exit of Trivest Partners, which invested in the company in early 2022.
CEO Robert Young will remain in his role. Young said the company has "built a strong foundation over the past five decades" and plans to expand by "adding additional facilities to our footprint to enhance our capabilities, better serve our customers, and expand our leadership in premium protein segments, including organic, grass-fed and Wagyu products."
Falfurrias declined to disclose the size of the investment or details on business growth and facility plans. However, the firm said in a statement it identified premium protein as a major category of interest because "consumer demand for grass-fed, organic and premium-branded beef is outpacing total category growth." Young American, Falfurrias partner Bill Lovette said, is "well-positioned to deliver the highest-quality protein consumers deserve."
Young American primarily serves retail customers and also supplies hospitality, higher education, cruise and cargo, healthcare, and military sectors across the United States, Caribbean, and Central and South America. The family-founded business was established in 1972 and has expanded from ground beef and patties into a broader portfolio including hot dogs, sausages, and smoked whole-muscle products. The company operates three facilities in South Florida, New York, and New Jersey, and has completed acquisitions in the last five years including Hofmann Sausage in 2024 and Best Provision in 2025.
