V&M Locker wins awards
V&M Locker attended the 83rd Annual Minnesota Association of Meat Processors Convention on March 14-15 at the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud where they competed in the Product Show Competition. Attending the competition were owners Chad and Julie Ruiter and their children, Cara (15), Alex (12), and Leah (6). The V&M Retail Manager Bethany Olsem also attended.
Julie noted that even though not all the employees attended, many of them participated in the creation and preparation of the projects they submitted.
“It was definitely a team effort,” she said. “We are so thankful for the dedication and hard work our team puts forth every day.”
V&M’s marinated pork chislic received second place in the Innovative Pork Competition that is put on by the MN Pork Board. That win earned them a Minnesota plaque, publicity, and $300 prize.
V&M won several awards including:
• 1st Place Bone-In Ham
