About Us

Ford’s Gourmet Foods is a fourth-generation, family-owned company based in Raleigh, North Carolina. For decades, our focus has been simple: create and distribute exceptional, clean-label foods that taste incredible and stand the test of time.

We are the makers and master distributors behind some of the world’s most celebrated non-GMO and gluten-free products, including Bone Suckin’ Sauce®, Bone Suckin’® Mustard, Fire Dancer® Jalapeño Peanuts, Wine Nuts, Earth Family Organics, and Naturals.

Bone Suckin’® Mustard is both a World Champion and a National Champion, earning top honors at the World-Wide Mustard Competition at the National Mustard Museum.

In addition, Bone Suckin’® Sweet & Spicy Mustard earned a National Championship at the Great American Barbecue Contest in Kansas City.

Bone Suckin’ Sauce® has also been rated #1 by Newsweek, Food & Wine, and A+ Health Magazine, and remains one of the most awarded barbecue brands in its category.


Commitment to Clean, Honest Ingredients

Our dedication to gluten-free and non-GMO foods has been recognized by Columbia University’s Celiac Disease Center, one of the leading research institutions in the field. From ingredient sourcing to production, we are committed to transparency, integrity, and uncompromising standards.


Global Reach & Industry Leadership

Ford’s Gourmet Foods was honored with North Carolina’s first-ever Exporter of the Year award and named one of the Top 20 Small and Mid-Sized Market Players by Consumer Products Guide.

We are active advocates for American producers and global trade. In 2008, we became charter members of an export advisory council for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and later testified before the United States Congress in support of the Market Access Program and Foreign Market Development Program — initiatives that help U.S. producers expand in global markets.

Today, our products are enjoyed across the United States and in more than 80 countries worldwide.


Our Mission

We remain a family-led business with an outstanding team dedicated to making and distributing only the best.

Goodness. No Compromises.
