Artisanal Jerky and Sausage Manufacturer in Central California
Business Description
For over two decades, this business built its reputation producing high-quality sausage and jerky. At its peak, the company generated over $1 million in annual revenue servicing an impressive roster of blue-chip grocery chains. The operation was recently and intentionally scaled down and paused due to the owners' health. This creates an opportunity for a new owner to step into a fully-equipped, USDA-inspected meat processing facility and immediately reactivate a proven business with a customer base ready to place orders.

Key Highlights
• Customer Relationships: Documented relationships with major grocers.
• $1M+ Revenue Potential: The business's sales decline was a direct and intentional result of the two owners (due to declining health) absorbing all employee roles and scaling back to part-time work. A new operator can scale the business to its $1M+ peak.
• Strong Brand & Reputation: 20+ years of goodwill and strong name recognition in the market.
• Equipment: The equipment was well-maintained to minimize deferred maintenance.
• USDA-Inspected Facility: A 1,500 sq. ft. USDA-certified plant combined with a 2,000 sq. ft. space for a gift shop, office, and dry storage.
• Handmade, Clean-Label Products: Jerky is crafted solely from top denuded rounds and uses only natural ingredients. All flavors are sugar-free except Teriyaki, which contains natural sugars from its marinade. No nitrites are used in jerky products. Sausages are crafted exclusively from high-quality pork butts and a proprietary spice blend.

Growth & Expansion Opportunities
• Immediate Client Reactivation: The owners will provide introductions to their major grocery clients to re-establish relationships.
• Product Line Expansion: With versatile equipment and established production methods, additional smoked meats or specialty blends can be introduced to broaden the catalog.
• Launch E-Commerce: Relaunching a modern e-commerce with direct-to-consumer (D2C) site represents an untapped sales channel.
• Expand Retail / Gift Shop: Market the 2,000 sq. ft. on-site gift shop, which is perfectly positioned to capture tourist traffic from nearby wineries.
