HQ Function

Served as the central administrative, marketing, and operational hub for Belcampo's vertically integrated meat business prior to its closure.

Notable Features:

Strategically located in a commercial district in Oakland, facilitating access to the Bay Area's progressive food scene and business services. No specific architectural highlights, focused on functional office space.

Work Culture:

Prior to its publicized issues, Belcampo aimed to foster a mission-driven culture centered on sustainability, ethical food production, and high-quality culinary experiences. The mislabeling scandal significantly impacted its reputation and likely internal morale before operations ceased.

HQ Significance:

The headquarters was central to managing a complex supply chain, from its primary farm near Mt. Shasta to its various retail and restaurant outlets, attempting to embody their 'farm-to-table' concept.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters operations were intended to support and project Belcampo's core values of transparency, quality, animal welfare, and sustainability in the food system, though these values were ultimately compromised by the mislabeling scandal.

Location:

Belcampo's operations were primarily concentrated within the United States, with a strong focus on California. Their business model was vertically integrated, encompassing farming, USDA-approved processing, retail butcher shops, and restaurants across California and a few other states like New York (e.g., Hudson Yards). The company did not have significant international operational branches for sales or production, though its agricultural philosophy drew on global best practices for regenerative farming. Its intended influence was mainly through its products and advocacy within the US market for a more sustainable meat industry.
