Where to Buy Who We Are OUR HISTORY Land O’Frost is a third generation, family-owned business started by Antoon Van Eekeren in 1941 and grown by his son, Paul Van Eekeren, a visionary who looked at the needs of consumers and acted on them. From our beginnings on the south side of Chicago to our current national presence and 1,500 employees, we’ve remained focused on family. That’s been the foundation of our company and our brands. We consider our employees, customers, and partners a part of our Land O’Frost family. It’s our unwavering commitment to everyone we serve that has allowed us to grow over the years. - David Van Eekeren, President & CEO 1958 1966 1969 1981 1990 2001 2007 2008 2012 TODAY VALUES How We Do It At Land O’Frost, we’re a family business that’s been making great tasting lunchmeat for more than 60 years.
