Over a century in business
Discover the origins of Harbor Foods, a fourth-generation family-owned distributor founded in 1923. Learn how Carl V. Erickson’s vision grew into a billion-dollar company built on service, relationships, and the belief that life happens around the table.
4 generations of leadership
Harbor began serving its neighborhood back in 1923.
Four generations of family leaders and 100+ years later, the company now takes care of 7,500+ customers on the west coast, with 1,100+ team members in 4 different distribution centers - all laser focused on their customers’ success.
Family is the bedrock of Harbor Foods. Each generation of the Erickson family learns from the previous generation, with the goal to leave the company better off.
Harbor is dedicated to supporting the local entrepreneurs that provide jobs in their communities, bring convenience to busy lives, and invite us all to experience life around the table. Every day.
