Our Story
Baretta Provision, Inc. is a family-run wholesale purveyor of meats, cheeses, produce and canned goods located in East Berlin, CT. William Baretta, Sr. owned and operated Bill's Market in Portland for many years. The market was located on Rt 66 in Portland and later relocated to Farmington Avenue in Berlin.
In 1967, Bill, Sr. and his son, Billy, broke ground on the building that would become Baretta Provision. Their goal was to supply markets like they had run with high quality meats and Italian specialties. Over the years, Billy's wife, Carol, son and daughters, sons-in-law, grandsons, and even mother-in-law joined in to lend a hand, making it truly a family business.
Following Billy's death in 2017, Carol and their son Danny have continued to run the business with the same goal in mind--to provide the best quality meats, cheeses, and produce to local markets, restaurants, caterers, institutions, and retail customers. We also do processing for private labels and work with farmers to produce custom cuts. Please see the links above for more information on these services.
We are proud to produce our own sausage, Italian dried salami, and corned beef right in East Berlin, CT. In addition, we grind our own fresh beef daily to bring you the highest quality products that reflect our heritage as third generation butchers and meat processors.
