About the Author

Patrick Campeau

Founder, Chief Curator, Lifeline Food Enthusiast

Patrick grew up in Québec, where the butcher knew his name and the cheesemonger remembered his last order. That kind of familiarity, the sense that food was personal, followed him to Providence a decade later. He noticed something missing here: the same quiet trust between eater and maker he'd known his whole life. So he built it.

WOLFS Provisions is the result of years spent searching, tasting, and vetting the Northeast's best small farms and artisans, distilled into one relationship you can rely on. Patrick isn't interested in convenience at the cost of quality. He's after both, always.
