About Us

ARIZONA GOLD BRAND

In 1974, Richard and Judith Barton created Velmar Food Services.  Many recipes were developed by Richard’s
father, who used his culinary craftmanship to develop the perfect burrito. Velmar Food Services has grown
from providing product to mobile food services, to supplying unified school districts across Arizona and
California with the most flavorful Mexican cuisine available.

Velmar Food Services is dedicated to providing authentic tasting culinary foundations, with Arizona-locally
grown and manufactured products. Our food endeavors are designed to maximize flavor while minimizing
cost to consumer.

Now a third-generation family-run business, Velmar Food Services continues its commitment to product innovation and quality of ingredients.
It it this consistency that has allowed Velmar’s brand, Arizona Gold, to be a favorite amongst school kids of all ages while remaining rich in
flavor and easy to prepare.

Velmar Foods Services relies on the components of our tried-and-true recipes while we develop new products. Our culinary experts are always
experimenting with new flavors, even as our emphasis remains in cultural authenticity. We use robust beans, cheese, fresh eggs, green chilies
and choice meats in our many products.
