Kinikin Processing, LLC

Kinikin Craft Butchers and Processing began with elk jerky and snack sticks, catering to Colorado wild game hunters. Over time, they expanded to include smoked meats and custom processing, gaining a reputation for quality among local ranchers, hunters, and hobby farmers. The business grew from its original space to a state-of-the-art USDA inspected facility, serving Montrose, CO, and nearby mountain towns for over 20 years.

Kinikin emphasizes full transparency and complete honesty in their meat products and processing. They prioritize ethics and sustainability, providing customers with visibility of their animals' entire lifecycle. The facility is USDA inspected, ensuring high standards of animal welfare and minimal environmental impact. Their butchers, trained by renowned meat-carver Ben 'the Butcher' Deltonto, uphold the art and tradition of custom processing.

Kinikin offers a full-service meat counter with daily luncheon sandwich specials, a variety of prepared meats, and catering for any occasion. They invite visitors to tour their facility and watch their skilled crew in action. The business supports local cattle ranchers, henhouse caretakers, wild game sharpshooters, and butchers, contributing to the local economy and community.
