A long way to Main Street, Clarion.

After moving to the United States from South Africa and owning a locker in Ventura, Iowa, owners Manie and Elmarie Nel were interested in expanding their business. When the opportunity to re-open the locker in Clarion arose, they did not pass it up.

They started out as a Custom Processing Facility, became an Officially Inspected Processing Facility in 2013, and in 2020 expanded from an 8,000 sq. ft. to a 16,000 sq. ft. facility. Over the years they have won several awards at the Iowa Meat Processors Association’s Convention and Trade Show for their in-house handmade products featuring original recipes.

What customers are saying

No better locker experience.

Great service and amazing staff. This is our second cow from here and everything was done to perfection! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, professional quality and extremely quick turn around time, no better locker experience in my lifetime. Thank you all for the exceptional experience.

Very pleased with the processing they did on my hogs and beef. I was surprised how much meat I got off the stock I brought in, which were small. This tells me they take their time and do a good job trimming and cutting. I've taken bigger animals to other lockers and walked away with much less.
