Hertel Meats Ltd. was created in 1967, a small family enterprise, providing slaughter, cutting & wrapping, and further processing of beef, pork and game for local farmers and hunters.Within 10 years a major plant expansion was completed and the facility was operating under the strict guidelines of the Canadian Federal Inspection Agency providing full time employment for many local people, some of whom, along with family members, are still employed. Strong growth continued and in 1980, Tom and his wife Helena established Hertel Meats as a limited company.
