The Story of the Home Processor
Our History
Humble beginnings - Founded in 1986 by Jimmy Couch, The Home Processor began as a simple home butcher supply mail order catalog serving the southeast US and beyond. In 1999 The Home Processor transitioned from the mail order catalog to an online internet-based store. We were one of the first in the industry to do so, and at that time, we barely even knew what "internet" was.
Now, over 35 years later, we continue to provide quality meat processing supplies for deer processors, home butchers and many other professional meat processors of all kinds. Our variety of jerky seasonings, sausage seasonings and other meat seasonings makes us your one stop shop. Jimmy instilled a knowledge of the industry into our small staff that can't be duplicated. Today, we appreciate each and every customer who helped us become who we are today.
Our Founder
Jimmy Couch - has lived in the North Georgia Mountains his entire life. Jimmy started as a local butcher in this area, but quickly gained meat processing, seasoning and industry knowledge unlike any other. After years in the local butcher shops, Jimmy eventually opened his own deer processing shop. Many area meat processors leaned on Jimmys vast knowledge of processing, meat seasoning and abilities to guide their own shops. It was then that Jimmy decided to put his knowledge to work and create the mail order catalog that went on to become The Home Processor. Jimmy has worked for many years hand selecting only the finest meat seasonings and best quality products sold. We sell almost exclusively AC Legg Old Plantation Seasoning just for its quality and taste. Those years of dedication, hard work, and finest product selections for professional and home butchers can be found right here on The Home Processor.
