About NESF


Northeast Specialty Foods began in 2013 with one person, one truck, and one clear vision: to bring high-quality gluten-free products to local communities. Over the years, we’ve grown into a trusted distribution company specializing in local and specialty foods, proudly serving small businesses across Maine, New Hampshire, and Eastern Massachusetts.

At our core, we believe no customer is too small. Personalized service is what sets us apart — and it always will be. We value strong relationships with both our customers and our vendor partners, because without them, we wouldn’t be in business.

We started as a family-owned company, and we remain one today — now led by a new generation committed to building on what works and making it even better. Our mission is simple: support local, serve with integrity, and deliver quality every step of the way.
