Our Legacy of Quality & Craftsmanship

How It All Started

For over five decades, Homestead Meat Company has proudly served our community with dedication, integrity, and a passion for quality meats. From our humble beginnings to expanded retail and online services, our commitment to craftsmanship and community has remained the same.

Founded in Jackson, Missouri.

Revis Reisenbichler took over, renamed the business Reis Meats, and started a period of expansion and quality enhancement. Reis Meats quickly became a fixture in the Jackson area as a source for high-quality, locally sourced beef and pork.

The Peterson and Klotz families joined with the Reisenbichler family to carry Reis Meats, now Homestead Meat Company, forward. Homestead rebooted Reis Meats’ popular deer processing, and invested in additional packing and processing equipment.

New web store launched, with free shipping options across America.

Our meats have been recognized for exceptional flavor and quality, earning awards and customer loyalty throughout the region.

Officially incorporated as Homestead Meat Company Inc., formalizing our commitment to professional meat processing services.

Expanded to online retail and delivery services, bringing our quality products to more customers while maintaining our traditional values.
