JACO Meats:

Southwest Arkansas' First USDA State Inspected Local Meat Processor

Locally Owned. Community Driven. Quality Focused.

At JACO Meats, we take pride in being a small, locally owned business that’s deeply rooted in our community and committed to delivering the highest quality meat processing services available.

Our story began in 2015, when two friends—Colton Capps and Jacob Askew—set out with a shared vision: to offer local farmers and hunters a trustworthy, reliable place to process their meat. What started as a seasonal deer processing operation quickly gained traction, fueled by word-of-mouth, hard work, and a reputation for quality.

As our customer base grew, so did our capabilities. We expanded beyond wild game to offer full-service processing for beef, pork, bison, lamb, and goat, working closely with local farmers and ranchers who share our values of integrity, care, and craftsmanship.

In 2021, that growth led to the official formation of JACO Meats, a name that now stands for excellence in both custom meat processing and retail meat sales. Our retail shop is stocked with hand-selected cuts and premium seasonings, allowing our customers to enjoy farm-fresh quality at home. Whether you're stocking your freezer, preparing for a family gathering, or sourcing meat for your restaurant or event, we’re here to help—personally.

Even as our reach has expanded to serve customers across the country, we remain firmly committed to our local roots. JACO Meats continues to be operated by the same local team, with the same passion for honest service and community connection. We believe in knowing where your food comes from, supporting local agriculture, and taking the time to do things the right way.

We’re not a big-box operation—and we never want to be. At JACO Meats, you’re more than a customer. You’re our neighbor.
