Company History

In 1993, John and Elaine Telge purchased six ostriches and began what would eventually become Arrowhead Specialty Meats. For three years they sold ostrich chicks and meat to the foodservice industry. Then chefs began inquiring if they could supply other specialty meats and in 1996, Arrowhead expanded their offerings to exotic game and the highest quality beef, pork and lamb. They continue to add select exotic meats and specialty food products each year.
