Heritage Custom Meats: Opening Soon for Indiana’s 2026 Youth Deer Hunt! 🦌

The 2026 Indiana Youth Deer Hunt Weekend is September 26-27, and Heritage Custom Meats is ready to help make your young hunter’s experience a memorable one!

Whether it's their first deer or another successful season in the field, we offer quality deer processing with a variety of options to fit your family's preferences.

⭐ Ask about our uncured processing options! Traditional cured products use curing agents that help preserve meat and create the classic flavor and color of items like snack sticks and summer sausage. Our uncured options use alternative ingredients and contain no added nitrates or nitrites, making them a popular choice for families looking for a more natural approach while still enjoying great taste.

📅 Don't wait to make your processing plans for Youth Hunt Weekend! We look forward to helping you preserve your harvest with the quality and care Heritage Custom Meats is known for.

Good luck to all Indiana youth hunters this season, and we'll see you after the hunt!
