Miller’s Custom Meats

Miller's Custom Meats is a deer and livestock processor located in Millersburg, Ohio. The business is in Ohio's Amish Country and serves Holmes County and surrounding areas.

The business is Amish-owned and operated with more than 40 years of experience and is in its third generation of family ownership. It was started in 1980 by Eli Miller (known as "Bologna Eli") who built a small shop on the farm for custom processing. Ben Raber took over operations in 1999 and continued the custom processing tradition. The current family moved to the farm in 2018 and took over operations in 2021. Shortly after, they became a fully inspected plant under the Ohio Department of Agriculture. The business is owned by Ben A. Raber. Beef is carefully aged in a cooler for fourteen days to enhance tenderness and flavor.

They accept unskinned deer, skinned deer, quartered deer, and frozen or fresh boneless meat. The facility offers extended hours on Saturdays during deer season. Out-of-state hunters are welcome, and the business will work with hunters who need expedited service by skinning and deboning so they can take their cape with them when leaving. Hunters should be aware that if a deer is more than 24 hours past the time of kill, the business is not responsible for any rotten or spoiled meat. They will contact hunters if they encounter spoiled or rotten meat.
