Our Story

The Legacy of Opa's Smoked Meats

Deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, the Opa's story began in 1947 as a local smokehouse in historic Fredericksburg. Three generations later, our family continues to produce premium smoked meats using the same authentic German recipes that made us a Hill Country favorite.

Our dedication to quality, tradition, and customer satisfaction has made Opa's products the centerpiece of family gatherings, backyard BBQ cookouts, special occasions, and festivals across the nation. Every Opa's product tells a story of craftsmanship. We carefully select premium cuts of meat, blend them with Old World spices and herbs, and slow-smoke them to perfection. From our hand-trimmed beef and pork tenderloins to our farm-fresh turkeys and chickens, each product reflects our commitment to excellence.

While honoring traditional recipes, we also embrace innovation, creating new favorites like our Hatch Green Chile sausage and Chicken sausage with Poblano Chile and Monterey Jack cheese in our state-of-the-art, USDA-inspected facilities.

Today, Opa's Smoked Meats stands stronger than ever. As we continue to grow and reach new markets, our fundamental values remain unchanged. The same commitment to quality, flavor, and customer satisfaction that guided us in 1947 still drives everything we do.
