Schwann's is a nationwide corporation...Their frozen food is the same as the frozen food at any grocery store. Example would be "Tony's frozen pizza"s are made on the same line as the Schwanns brand. Look on the back of a Tony's pizza package and you'll see the Schwaan logo.
What other people think about you is none of your business.

Ah, I see. They have clever marketing then to make them seem local, at least around here.

Larry delivered to the Tombstone pizza plant one time. They were remarkable friendly and had piles of frozen pizza in a freezer, and a pizza oven, for the drivers waiting to be loaded/unloaded. They seemed quite concerned because we couldn't have any. There was a vibe that they cared about what was going on the trucks. Nice. If I could have mass-produced pizza, I would eat Tombstone!

Some of the quality compromises of corporate farms are purely greed driven, not production mandatory.
been there, tried that, fucking tough way to go.
The regs, permitting, and on and on it written for the corporations.
Almost impossible to comply with for a small farmer.
Another example of how money and farm lobbyists have influenced lawmaking? Unfortunate. You would think that the regulations would help the small farmer, not put them out of business.

If I discovered they were serving frozen pizza at a bake sale, I would have shut it down as well.

Same company.

Some of the delivery food is special to that business and only available that way.
