So what is South Shore Meats? It is a company steeped in tradition and history. From our humble beginnings in 1917 as a family owned Italian grocery store, C Crocetti and Son to our various companies we now own we have never moved away from the basic tenets that Carlo, Vincenza and Alfred Crocetti began with; Tradition, Quality and Customer Service. We started with the family sausage recipe and for over 35 years the business thrived in South Boston. Over those 35 years in addition to our Italian Sausage business we expanded, adding other Italian meats and deli specialties. With our family’s 3rd generation member Carl Crocetti joining the business we began to expand to the wholesale levels supplying Boston area restaurants and delis. Throughout all the expansion our secret family sausage recipe remained unchanged.

Our company continued to grow and in 1977 Alfred and Carl moved their operation to East Bridgewater, MA. Still specializing in Italian Sausage there was also an expansion and we began to offer all cuts of heavy western steer – specializing in Choice, Prime and Angus.   At that time we also expanded our product line to include port, lamb and veal. At this time we created the signature Oakdale Farms product line which was in addition to continuing the Crocetti’s product line.

Our next big growth was in 1990. While still maintaining Oakdale Packing Company the Crocetti family opened South Shore Meats in Brockton, MA. South Shore Meats concentrated primarily on providing all the major food service distributors in the NE areas with portion control cuts of veal, lamb, pork and beef. Stay tuned to our blog, in the coming weeks we will be discussing our product lines in depth.

As we grew over the years we have never forgotten our roots and the goals of Carlo and Vincenza Crocetti – providing our customers with quality products, exemplary customer service and the tradition that is our heritage.
