Voyage Denver: Exploring Life & Business with Chelsey & Cassie of Lottie’s Meats

Hi Chelsey & Cassie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Lottie’s Meats is a sister-owned food business born from a generational family farm. We offer a range of chef-crafted, convenient & creative pork sausages & ground pork blends—made with responsible, high-quality ingredients and packed with protein, flavor and fun!

Growing up, we witnessed firsthand the “power of pork” done right – seeing how family farming created strong roots, built communities, and brought economic opportunities to our region (+ the taste and quality is unmatched – but we are a little biased)! 😃

However, we also saw firsthand agriculture’s industry challenges and transformations. Understanding these complexities, our parents encouraged us to explore careers beyond agriculture as “real young adult people” to explore what else was out there. Chelsey pursued Culinary while Cassie ventured into Tech. During our time building careers across the country, we noticed something missing: premium pork products were nowhere to be found on menus, retail shelves, or in food conversations. In the US, pork can get a bad rap, but we knew that didn’t have to be the case!

We thought, “If anyone’s going to reintroduce pork in a fresh and meaningful way, why not us?” And that’s how Lottie’s – a family name – was born. We proudly launched our products in retail stores and on menus in March 2024 and almost a year later, you can find us in 100+ restaurants, retail shelves, bakeries, etc.
