In 1967, Ed and Mary Lorentz purchased the locally owned Bremer Brothers Meat Market, in Cannon Falls, MN.  Soon after, this hometown meat market began to establish a reputation for quality, trust, and customer service. 

In July 1997, Ed and Mary Lorentz sold Lorentz Meats and Deli to their two sons, Rob and Mike. With an idea of expansion, they assembled a group of family and friends as investors and build a new, larger processing facility in the year 2000. To focus their efforts on serving their marketing partners, they sold retail location in 2005.

Today, Lorentz Meats has grown to 45 employees.  Individual farmers are still welcome to process single animals, but now meats processed by Lorentz Meats are shipped across the United States.
