Zimmerman Quality Meats is a local meat processor, providing its community with conventional retail meats as well as slaughter and processing services, with the ability to process products from harvest all the way to shelf-ready cooked product under one roof.
Founded in 2003, the Summersville, Mo.-based processor’s foundational customer base consisted of local farmers and hunters seeking services for their own households. The operation now slaughters multiple species under USDA-FSIS inspection, with its current leadership having been in place for eight years, said Jon Cartwright, who co-owns Zimmerman Quality Meats with his brother, Josh Cartwright.
