CAPTAIN FOODS LTD

At many Fire stations, it is customary for firefighters to take turns cooking meals for fellow crew members, and Captain Ken Freiberg was famous for his oven-baked beans & bacon. The news of these delicious beans spread, and soon people throughout the neighborhood stopped by asking for a taste. After successfully selling his beans & bacon during the mid-1960’s at a food stand at the annual Minnesota State Fair, Ken retired from the fire department and in 1967, launched Captain Ken’s Foods.

Over the past 55 years, Captain Ken’s has stayed true to its founder’s commitment to quality using quality ingredients and attention to detail to make home tasting, home comfort products. During this time, the Company has expanded its product line to include numerous types of baked-bean and chili recipes, plus potato dishes, taco meats, and entrees such as Tater Tot Casserole, Beef & Noodles, Chicken Pot Pie Filling, & more.

Grocery store shoppers can find Captain Ken’s retail products in their grocer’s freezer section. And foodservice operators can purchase larger bulk pack sizes of these same products plus many others from their broad-line distributor.
