hand-crafted charcuterie like sausages, hot dogs, deli meats, bacon and
jerky that created the foundation for the Keller Crafted product line.
This
focus also allowed Keller Crafted to provide processing services for
many of the region’s farmers; Mark chose to work with those who are
dedicated to raising pure, nutritious and humanely raised animals.
Mark’s own heritage breed hogs were moved from the Capay Valley to the
Klingeman Family Farm in Washington state, a trusted hog farming family
with a certified organic farm. Keller Crafted then partnered with
Klingeman to develop a line of pork products that both companies market.
By owning and operating the processing, Keller
can utilize the whole animal, which improves the economic viability of
his farmer partners and provides value to customers, while doing the
right thing at every step from farm to table.
