The principals of Hickory House Ribs and Michelbob's are the majority owners of West River Meats.
This USDA plant was purchased in 2005 solely for the purpose of developing
our pre-cooked HEAT & EAT baby back ribs which had attained such notoriety across the US.
Once developed, our efforts have been to make this rib available to the foodservice
and retail grocery industries. Our efforts are concentrated with excellent distribution
to the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, Minnesota, Eastern US from Connecticut to Virginia
and Southeast Florida (Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties).

We have concentrated on establishing relationships
with excellent partners for long-term success for both.
We conduct an agressive demo program for our retail customers
and in the usual case we have been able to expand our footprint
with our line of top-quality bratwurst, sausages and bacon products.

We also distribute our bbq sauces and seasoning which makes an excellent retail package.
The notoriety of the restaurants have driven strategic relationships with the Minnesota Twins
and other sports venues are in line to follow.
