About Barvecue
What is Barvecue?
Barvecue is a North Carolina-based plant-based barbecue brand, certified as a B Corporation, with a mission stated in its own words: "At Barvecue, we inspire joy and change through better comfort foods. Our journey began with a simple craving for delicious plant-based barbecue and a desire to make a positive impact on the world… Where we craft authentically wood-smoked, plant-based foods. Rooted in the rich culinary traditions of North Carolina barbecue, we proudly built the world's largest plant-based smokehouse."
The brand's product line on its homepage navigation is Pulled BVQ, Carnitas, and Rotisserie Chicken — all wood-smoked and plant-based. Ingredient transparency is core to the marketing: "Our foods are crafted from simple, nutritious ingredients: Whole soybeans, sweet potatoes, organic apple cider vinegar, expeller-pressed canola oil, and a blend of spices. That's all. We believe that good food should be pure and wholesome."
Where will I work?
Barvecue is headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina, where it operates the Carolina Smokehouse. The brand is sold via retail partners and online; the website features a "Find a Store" locator for retail availability.

We prioritize sourcing clean ingredients from quality suppliers, efficiently managing our manufacturing processes, and caring for our stakeholders — because we know that our choices have a ripple effect on our communities."
