DON’s heritage goes back to the late 1800’s and we have always been passionate about meat and making meat even better- transforming it into delicious tasting Ham, Bacon, Salami, Smallgoods and Fresh Pork.

Our heritage is expertise in meat, and we have taken great pride in our skills, techniques and our brands form the very beginning. Our journey has been one from small family businesses to large ones and now as part of the GWF family, which is still largely owned by the Weston family.
