The Full Story
WHO WE ARE
Starting in the early 1900’s the Turpen family raised beef cattle, sheep, and hogs on their family farm in Nancy, Kentucky. Great Uncle Bam Turpen started a very small scale meat cutting business in Nancy to provide a safe and clean location to process local livestock for the community. Grandfather Howard Turpen (pictured below, left) and his wife Elizabeth took over and grew the business significantly 1n the early 1960’s and created Turpen’s Whole Hog Sausage, shipping regionally to 4 states, supplied many restaurants, and provided processing services to thousands of farm families while in operation.
In 2016 Kyle Turpen (grandson) and his “Father-in-Law” / business partner David Corbin started Summit Meats and Meat Processing where they increased the scale, to be able to handle higher volumes and provide the safest and cleanest cutting environment possible. David’s vast experience in meat cutting enables them to provide processing services and meat cuts that are second to none. Now serving over 5000 farm families per year and providing quality meats for over 10,000 families per year!
