Edgewood Locker Owners

Edgewood Locker currently has six owners. Two of the owners are second generation, while four are third generation. Our third generation is working hard to continue to grow the business, while remaining committed to providing high quality meat products to our custom, retail and wholesale customers.  Having six owners has great advantages, as each owner is able to excel and contribute to the business in their own way.

Owners are pictured with their family and include: Joan Kerns (retired), Jim Kerns, Terry Kerns, Luke Kerns, Katie Anderson, Baili Maurer, & Payson Kerns

Sausage

sausage - final

Our sausage making crew is responsible for the crafting of the delicious sausages that we process.  Everything that gets mixed in our mixer, or stuffed into casings goes through this department.  They even help with the smoking and curing of our award winning hams and bacon!  Creating these products takes skill, and isn't always just as simple as following a recipe.  For anybody who has ever looked through our window into our processing area, this is the team you will see first!

Cutting & Trimming

The cutting & trimming team is responsible for taking a whole beef, pork, lamb, or deer carcass, and turning it into steaks, roasts, and ground meat.  They are very skilled, and know exactly how to make the highest quality cuts for you to eat at home.  In addition to trimming meat off of bones, they also trim fat off of the scraps in order to aim for a desired leanness.  This team is also responsible for cutting the fresh beef and pork cuts that we have available in our retail store.

Harvest

Slaughter Final

This hard working crew  takes care of the first steps  of meat processing at the Edgewood Locker. They are responsible for humanely unloading and euthanizing the animals that are brought in. They then prepare the carcasses to be hung on the rail by removing inedible parts of the animal and splitting the carcasses in half. Once on the rail they thoroughly wash the carcasses.

Sanitation

The Sanitation Team is tasked with making sure our facility gets cleaned and sanitized every night. They make sure all equipment, walking mats, floors, and walls are all cleaned completely, and spotless when they are all done.  When you visit us you won't see this team, but they are equally as important, and a vital part of food safety at Edgewood Locker.
