OUR STORY

Gary Brandt, Robert Sines, Rodger Merz, Tim Hagedorn, and Steve Maddox have a combined 150 years of ham processing experience. Founded in 1991 and formerly known as ARCK Foods, Cedar Hollow Foods draws upon knowledge from their combined former startup businesses Kretchmar and Mickelberry. The group says this will be their last startup and the most successful by far.


Cedar Hollow Foods acquired Ol’ Farmers Brand, Inc. in 1993 and Double G Hams in 2020. With this newfound expertise, we now embody and build upon the best those companies had to offer. We believe Cedar Hollow Foods produces the finest hams available on the market today, and our customers confirm it!

Had the cherrywood sliced ham and was amazed at how tender it was and amazing flavor. Got mine at Super Saver at a great price. I want to try all the flavors now!

I have tried all brand hams in the last year or so and the double g ham was by far the most flavorful ham that I have found! Even hams that were twice the cost were not as good!

I have been buying their ham for 30 years. Guests always ask what Brand it is. My parents even buy them to take back to Texas. I wouldn't consider buying any other brand. The flavor is outstanding

Double G Hams has the best ham, hands down! Our family has been serving Double G for over 3 generations and it's the only brand we will buy. Always has a great taste and is delicious!

I was given a Double G ham one year at Christmas when I worked in Pacific. The best ham I have ever eaten.

This ham reminds me of the good old fashioned smoked ham my grand parents would get.
