Be good, do good, and bring good to as many people as we can.

The way we see it, life’s too short to spend eating something you don’t feel good about, or giving into a product that you don’t quite trust. And in our one hundred-some years of taste testing, wood smoking, oven roasting, handcrafting and re-handcrafting each and every product, we’ve made it our mission to serve up something better, healthier, and more wholesome. Because, we take business personally.

It's in our history.
In 1885, John married his beloved Nellie an Irish farm girl. In 1898 they immigrated to rural Vermont to fulfill their dream of running their own farm. It flourished and included smokehouses for slow curing country hams. Nellie began giving hams as holiday gifts to neighboring farms. Word got out of their extraordinary quality and flavor. Soon the orders started coming and they never stopped.
Much has changed in this world, but some things are too good to change. Today, the McKenzie folks are still going to extraordinary measures to bring you the best meats made the old-fashioned way – based on John and Nellie’s farm methods for naturally hardwood smoking hams and using pure Vermont maple syrup for authentic flavor. We continue this tradition of bringing you authentic flavors with simple, wholesome food values. Attention to the little details served our family well back then, and that same integrity in our process and product continues to act as our compass today.
