Chico Locker & Sausage Co. Inc. has been a Chico tradition for over 40 years. The business entered the Dewey family in 1965. In 1981 David Dewey and his wife Linda bought the company from Davids father Russell Dewey. The company has grown and changed a great deal over the years. What started out as a custom slaughter and processing plant has evolved into a full service deli and sausage kitchen. Many of the products available are made right on the premises. Some of these specialties include: hams, bacon, smoked turkeys, fresh and smoked sausages, jerky, snackstick, marinated tri tips, pork chops, and chicken breast. One of the most helpful moves the business has made was to join the American Association of Meat Processors. Affiliations with associations such as this have brought recognition in the form of national and state awards for the quality of the products produced at Chico Locker & Sausage Co. Inc. Chico Locker continues to create award winning product today.
