Heritage, Since 1947
In 1947, our grandparents, Gerhardt and Esther Schmidt began their journey towards the American dream. Gerhardt, working as a meat cutter, was inspired by Esther to start his own business. They found a local butcher shop for sale but couldn't afford it. A kind recommendation led them to a farmer in town who, not wanting to lose the butcher shop, loaned them the money with a handshake.
On Friday, June 13, 1947, Schmidt's Meat Market opened its doors. Over the years, Gerhardt and Esther built a reputation for unwavering quality, family service, and incredible flavor, especially their unique German smokehouse flavor.
