In the summer of 1996 Dean Simon developed a unique process for prepping, roasting, grilling and flash freezing first quality vegetables picked at the peak of flavor. Dean founded SDG Foods and applied his know how to a business dedicated to the development of the best tasting highest quality fresh grilled and roasted vegetables available anywhere. As word spread, demand outpaced production capacity and necessitated a move to a state of the art 60,000 square foot, company owned production facility. SDG quickly became the leading producer of top quality, IQF roasted vegetables in the country. While maintaining the highest flavor and aesthetic commitments, SDG extended the tradition of innovation to industry leading safety and quality control processes.
