Big Y's Best Meat, Deli & Seafood
Mouthwatering flavor. Impeccable quality. Old-fashioned service. These are the things you’ve come to expect from Big Y and our Butcher Shop, Seafood Department and World Class Deli - every day. And those are the same reasons we are so proud to partner with some of New England's finest meat, deli and seafood producers.
Spanish-Style Seafood and Rice
(Featuring North Coast Seafood and Garbo Lobster)
North Coast Seafood, Boston, MA - If you want to experience the freshest, highest-quality seafood, you can take to the seas — or just visit your local Big Y.
For more than 15 years, we have partnered with the North Coast Seafood company to bring you some of the world’s best seafood fresh from the Atlantic to your table.
It’s a journey that begins the moment the seafood comes out of the water. Once their inspectors determine that it meets Big Y’s quality standards, the seafood is packed on ice at an optimally cold temperature to maintain quality and freshness. Then it’s rushed, within 2 days of being caught, to your local Big Y where it is expertly prepared just for you.
Garbo Lobster Company, Groton, CT - Family-owned
for almost 25 years, the Garbo Lobster Company is proud to provide Big Y with the freshest lobsters you’ll find anywhere. As one of the largest live lobster shippers in the United States, Garbo selects only the best, highest-quality lobsters for their clients. They come straight from the Atlantic coast
off Stonington, Maine to Big Y’s stores in less than 12 hours. That’s about as fresh as it gets without catching one yourself.

Potato Salad with Goat Cheese and Grapes
(Featuring The Farmstead at Mine Brook Goat Cheese)
The Farmstead at Mine Brook, Charlemont, MA - Nestled in a picture-perfect corner of rural Charlemont, Massachusetts, The Farmstead at Mine Brook is home to a thriving herd of purebred Nubian goats, a breed known for their rich, flavorful milk. Their specialty “Goat Rising” cheese is made from this fresh bounty. This is artisanal cheese in the truest sense of the word, artfully handmade with true attention to tradition, craft and - flavor.
Millie’s Pierogi, Chicopee Falls, MA -
These hand-crafted, family recipe Polish dumplings are still “pinched” with pride
by the Lopuk family and sold, pre-packaged right here at your local Big Y.
What began as a side business out of the back of their family diner has grown, and Millie’s pierogi are shipped all over the United States. Millie’s is still strictly a mom-and-pop operation, though, with the same loving care and classic fillings — cheese, cabbage, potato and onion, even sweet pierogi filled with prunes — going into each tasty bundle.
Carando, Springfield, MA - Capicola, salami, mortadella, prosciutto are some of the classic flavors of Italy. And some of these world-class Italian specialty meats are produced right here in our backyard, at Carando Classic Italian in Springfield. Founded by Pietro Carando as a way to share the craft he learned as a young man in Italy, Carando has been handcrafting and selling its old-world-style meats for more than sixty years.

Chicken Cheddar Cordon Bleu
(featuring Cabot Vermont Cheddar and Grote & Weigel Ham)
Cabot Vermont, Montpelier, VT - In 1919, a group of dairy farmers in Cabot, Vermont decided to pool their resources, make their excess milk into butter, and sell their products to the rapidly growing urban areas to the south. The rest, as they say, is history. Ninety years later, Cabot Vermont is known around the world for its high-quality dairy products — especially their award-winning cheddar cheese, which locals will tell you is hands down the world’s best. Although it has grown in size and scope since the early 1900s, Cabot Vermont remains one hundred percent farmer-owned, and one hundred percent dedicated to producing the best,
most delicious cheese they can.
Grote & Weigel Meats, Bloomfield, CT - Since 1890, Connecticut’s Grote & Weigel has been producing delicious meats — it’s one of the oldest meat producers in the United States. They’re so proud of the high standards at their Bloomfield facility that they have an open-door policy: customers are welcome to stop by for a free tour and visit any time! For well over a century, the sausages, frankfurters, boneless hams and turkey breasts, bolognas and liverwurst (among other tasty items) bearing the Grote & Weigel name have been synonymous with mouthwatering flavor, impeccable standards and the highest possible quality.
