Custom Flavored Gravies
Mouthwatering Flavors They’ll Love
For Sunday-style meals at dozens of locations, modern-meets-cozy-comfort meal kits, and everything in between, Butterball® Farms provides custom wholesale gravy that brings hearty, comforting flavor without the labor.
We’re not your standard commodity gravy supplier—we’re your partner for specialty gravies crafted to deliver unique flavor and premium quality.
Comfort & Convenience, No Roux Required
Gravy is a staple for every part of the day—breakfast, lunch, or dinner—but your back-of-house staff shouldn’t have to rely solely on clumpy, powdered roux to make it.
Not only can these mixes fall short on flavor, they often lead to inconsistent results. That’s where Butterball® Farms comes in. We help you serve gravy that delights your customers time and time again, with a fraction of the prep work and a flavor so good, they’ll want to eat it by itself.

You can order your custom gravies in tubs, pails, totes, or barrels, which are ideal for food manufacturers and food service.

Pre-Portioned Cups
After running the numbers, one large-scale wholesale corporation discovered that partnering with Butterball® Farms generated $200k in labor savings compared to producing their product in-house.
