Seven generations of Ohio farming

Wertz’s Best Canned Meat Since 1852

I’m Don Wertz, and our family has raised beef in North West Ohio for seven generations. Since the late 1960s, we have combined our farming heritage with decades of canning expertise to bring premium beef and pork cuts straight to your pantry.

The dish consists of two thick slices of white bread topped with generous scoops of creamy mashed potatoes and shredded roast beef, all smothered in a rich, dark brown gravy. Sprigs of fresh green curly parsley are placed around the plate as a garnish. The lighting is bright and even, against a clean white background, highlighting the textures of the meat and sauce.

Wertz's Best Canned Meat History

Hello, I’m Don Wertz, the proud owner of Wertz’s Best Canned Meat. Our family has been raising beef in North West Ohio since 1852, and we have been preserving quality meat through our canning process since the late 1960s.
We believe canned meat should never mean sacrificing quality. That’s why we use premium beef and pork cuts, including Filet, Ribeye, and Porterhouse, to create a product our family is proud to serve.
Every can represents generations of farming experience, careful preparation, and a commitment to providing food you can trust.

From young steers to premium cuts

Quality Raised on the Farm

From young steers to premium cuts, we focus on quality from the beginning. Our beef and pork are carefully selected and prepared using the same standards our family has followed for generations. We believe the quality of the meat inside the can matters, which is why we choose premium cuts instead of treating canned meat as an afterthought.
