History

Falters Fine Meats was established in 1890 by Herman Falter. Herman was born in Germany and moved to the Midwest in his early 20’s, where he learned the trade of butchering. He opened his first storefront on the south side of Columbus, Ohio in 1886. A few years later he purchased 3 acres of land where he prospered to one of the most prominent names in the packing industry. Finally, in 1915 a large brick packing plant was built, which is the same building in operation today. Herman was the sole owner of Falters Fine Meats for the duration of his life and has since been operated by 5 generations of Falters.

Falters sells a full line of quality pork and beef products that range from fresh pork and beef cuts to our old recipe processed items. Our extensive line includes several hundred of always in stock items as well as the ability to special order many other meat and cheese items for our customers.

We are proud to have relationships with many businesses in Columbus and throughout the state, that date back generations, this includes both suppliers and customers. Falters procures many of its raw materials and meats as locally as possible and is always trying to do more business within our community.

Fifth generation Falters, Jason and Cy, have been learning the product and business since before even being able to work in the factory at age 18. Going forward, their plan is to continue the Falter tradition of supplying quality product to local restaurants, butchers, and grocers throughout Columbus, Ohio, and beyond. To find the location that offers Falters products nearest you, check the Store Locator.
