John Umlauf

SVP of Culinary Operations at Saffron Road Foods

John Umlauf is another fellow devotee of ethical consumerism. With an extensive background in the culinary arts as well as sustainable livestock sourcing, he offers real world experience in staying true to the principles of halal.

John Umlauf began his career at the feet of an old-time butcher in the corner meat shop and became a meat-cutter apprentice at age 16. Moving on to a culinary career and working his way up to Executive Chef, John came full circle back to the meat business in 2002 and helped found several Northeast “new paradigm” meat brands, including the very successful Northeast Family Farms brand of meats owned by Dole & Bailey. John also served as Corporate & Conference Chef for The Weston A. Price Foundation from 2002 to 2005 and still serves on the Honorary Board of Directors for that international non-profit organization. His passion for the sacredness of food led him to become one of the founders of Halal Premium Meats and the Twin Rivers grass-fed meats brand in 2005, which was served at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and featured in the official magazine of the American Culinary Federation.
