Larry pioneered frozen food after World War II. His son Donald founded Don Lee Farms in 1982 and built it from the factory floor up, alongside the team that powers it. The mission hasn’t changed: delicious, convenient food at a price that works for American families.
Read our full story →Larry founded what would become Larry's after World War II, supplying local firefighters, military bases, markets, and schools with sandwiches and convenient meals.

Larry pioneered the flash-frozen, fully cooked burger, among the first to make ready-to-eat proteins at scale. He was also one of the first to use plant-based proteins commercially. His son Donald joined and learned the business from the production floor up.


Donald started Don Lee Farms in a rented building in Marina del Rey, making convenient, ready-to-eat foods for local school districts and later Price Club (now Costco), building the company one product at a time.

Opened the first company-owned campus in Inglewood, production, warehouse, and headquarters under one roof.

Launched our burger and sandwich line, charbroiled patties and fully assembled sandwiches that remain at the heart of what we make.

Donald's sons Michael, Danny, and Brandon joined the company, expanding into new categories. Together they helped grow Don Lee Farms into a national brand and trusted private-label partner.

Launched our first plant-based, veggie-based burgers, years before plant-based went mainstream.

Opened the Mansfield, Texas campus and earned USDA Organic certification, expanding our reach nationwide.

Launched our chicken patty line: fully cooked, convenient proteins ready in minutes.

Launched our bowl line: complete, high-protein meals with slow-cooked proteins over grains and vegetables.


Won Albertsons Companies' New Supplier of the Year, reflecting a core part of what we do: making private-label frozen convenience meals as a trusted partner to America's leading retailers.
Donald recognized for more than 40 years of giving back to Los Angeles.


Launched our handheld line, starting with crispy tacos made for the air fryer.

Recognized by the Urban School Food Alliance for raising the bar on school meals. Today we are a top-3 commodity beef processor for America’s schools.
Expanded into entrées: slow-cooked, heat-and-serve meals built on the same kitchen-style recipes.

Company-owned campuses in California and Texas with national reach and a club-store favorite across multiple categories, helping shape the future of food.
