General Info:

Boone's Butcher Shop was founded in 1946 by Luel A. Boone. Boone started the company as a seasonal business, slaughtering hogs during the months of November and December. Boone saw the company rapidly expand into a year around business, and decided to add a retail market around the year of 1954. Throughout the years, Boone continually saw his company grow and felt it necessary to expand the business many more times.In the 1980's Luel A. Boone's son, Jerry, and his wife, Donna, assumed daily managerial duties taking over the company Luel A. had watched develop over the past 35 years. Jerry and Donna continued to run the business through the 80's and 90's and into the new century.In April of 2004, fire destroyed 80% of the processing facility and left the Boone's in a major dilemma, to rebuild or not to rebuild. With the backing, encouragement and support of customers, family and friends Jerry, Donna, and their son, Matthew were able to rebuild a larger, state of the art processing facility that opened in the fall of 2005. Once the new processing facility had been completed, we began partnering with local farmers to develop value added products in order to promote the sales of locally produced meat.As the local community has grown, so too, has Boone's. What began as a purely family employed business, from Luel A., his wife, his brother, his sister, and all of his children at one time or another, has grown to a business employing as many as 35 employees in the fall, our busiest season. Many local high school students have trained in our facility as one of their first jobs as teenagers.
