Hamel Meats was founded in 1962 in Cold Lake Alberta by Gaston Hamel with a simple mission: provide high-quality meat products built on hard work, honesty, and tradition. What started as a small family operation quickly became a trusted name in the community.

In 1985, the second generation Greg, Robert, and Reg Hamel took the reins. They expanded the business, modernized operations, and continued to build on the reputation their father created, never compromising on quality.

Today, the third generation Gabriel, Jacob, and Andrew Hamel are carrying that legacy forward. With deep roots in the meat industry and a focus on innovation, they are taking Hamel Meats to the next level. Crafted with Experience. Built for Today.

Our jerky is the result of over 60 years of hands-on experience in meat processing. Every batch reflects the knowledge passed down through generations combined with modern techniques and a commitment to consistency.

We don’t cut corners. We start with quality cuts of meat, use simple ingredients, and focus on delivering bold, real flavor in every bite.

From Our Family to Yours

Hamel’s Jerky isn’t just another product it’s part of a legacy. When you open a bag, you’re getting more than great taste. You’re getting decades of experience, pride, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
