Karen and Jerry Zink founded Sunnyside Meats in 2002 on the principle of sustaining local agriculture and maintaining a healthy food supply for the community. Since the early 1900’s the Zink and Short families have been farming and ranching in the Sunnyside area. The Zinks maintain their agricultural heritage by offering an innovative approach to safe and healthy food for the community.

In  1994 the Zinks placed the land surrounding Sunnyside Meats Inc. in an open space easement ensuring that the working landscape will be preserved for generations to come.
		All animals used at Sunnyside Meats come from local producers. Not only is this beneficial to the agricultural community, it ensures a safe food supply to our consumers.
At harvest, animals are individually tagged with the year, month, day, hour and minute of slaughter. This helps to track each animal from the producer to the consumer.
		Sunnyside Meats is a USDA inspected slaughter and processing plant. Inspectors are on site to ensure food safety and quality
