Throughout the119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties. “Edgewood Locker’s seasoned approach has kept them marbled in success,” said Chair Ernst. “The Kerns’ family recipes truly are a meating of the minds. They produce award-winning sausages, meat sticks, bacon, and more, resulting in over one million pounds of sausage and almost 500,000 pounds of venison products just last year!” In 1966, Tom and Joan Kerns founded Edgewood Locker in a rented building in downtown Edgewood. Their sons, Terry and Jim, later joined the business. By 1980, the Kerns established a family partnership that has grown to provide custom meat processing while serving meat sticks, sausage, ribeye steaks, jerky, and much more in their retail store. Today, Terry and Jim run the business with the family’s third generation, Luke, Katie, Baili, and Payson. Edgewood Locker will celebrate its 58th anniversary in Iowa later this year.
