In its early days, the Griggstown Quail Farm distributed to a few choice restaurants in the New York City area. Today, their prime distributor is D'Artagnan Inc., located in Newark, N.J. Hear how the business has evolved over 40 years and what role Matt has played in its development.

"Farming is in my blood. I grew up on a farm, my dad and grandfather were farmers...it's part of who I am." [8:13]
"We make everything from scratch...we don't do anything the easy way. So once we started ramping up production I had to start hiring people." 17:00
