Meat Your Expectations

Our journey began in 2012 when Jerry Montavon, a seasoned butcher with a lifetime of experience working alongside his family, decided to turn his passion for providing fresh meat into a business. Located in Southern Ohio, JM Meat Processing started as a licensed custom butcher shop, born out of Jerry's desire to continue the tradition of putting quality meat on the table, even after retiring as a federal prison guard in Ashland, Kentucky.

Jerry's wife, Estivaun, a retired postal worker, joined him in this venture, and together, they run the small, old-fashioned butcher shop as a true family business. Since their marriage in 1980, they've owned a small farm where the butcher shop is situated. Their son, Doug, currently a middle school teacher, also contributes to JM Meat Processing.

Initially, JM Meat Processing focused on processing animals for local farmers and their families. However, as consumer preferences shifted towards knowing the origin of their food and supporting the farm-to-table concept, Jerry and Estivaun saw an opportunity. They invested in locally raised beef and pork, catering to customers not only from Ohio but also from Northern Kentucky.

Today, JM Meat Processing stands as a testament to family values, tradition, and a commitment to providing quality meats sourced from local farms.
