Denney Farms Deer Processing

09/01/2026

Two weeks from today marks the opening of deer reduction zone season. The cooler chills pretty quickly, just let us know you have one down and we'll turn the cooler on for you. With the price of beef being what it is today I think there will be a lot more people hunting deer this year. I expect to be busy this season and as long as everyone keeps their heads cool, I shouldn't get too grumpy. No promises, the long days and short nights can get to anyone. Stay safe out there.

My brother sent me the background of the picture one day and asked if I could find the deer in that picture. I sent him back this with the reply of, "yeah, it's right in the middle, there isn't much meat on it." Youth weekend is just 4 short weeks away. Be sure and get in plenty of practice, clean shot placement means more meat in your freezer. I can't think of any way to calm the excitement of having a deer in your sights, it's a visceral and primitive experience, maintaining focus when adrenaline starts pumping is something learned hands on. The best advice I can give is to practice a centering breath before each shot. Aim small, miss small. Good luck out there and remember that youth weekend is a great time to teach the kids to respect nature

Bring your knives to market. Aaron from AB Sharpening will be at the Miller Sunset Pavilion(705 Park Ave, Winona Lake, IN 46590) August 1st for The Farmers Market at Winona from 8am-1pm. Squirrel season is just 3 weeks away. Come on out and see what I do when I'm not chained to my cutting table. I probably won't recognize you without your camo and winter suits.

Aaron does I wonderful job of making sure your knives are ready for the task at hand. Make sure your blades are field ready, a sharp knife is a joy to work with and makes cleaning your harvest a breeze. A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. He sharpens more than just hunting knives, check your kitchen and fishing knives too.

It's that time of year when we are busy playing in the soil. Feel free to come out the Farmers Market at Winona and see if I recognize you when you aren't bundled up in camo. I probably won't, don't take it personally, I'm used to seeing your vehicle pull into the driveway. At the market it's the other way around, I pull my truck in and show off my handy work instead of coming out to your truck to see your handy work.

I don't get it, Facebook keeps telling me that I have new page views, why is anyone viewing a deer processing page when it's several months out of season? Riddle me that.

Facebook wants me to post something, I don't why they need to harass me. I am almost done with all the deer from a very busy season. If anyone would like us to make seasoning mixes for summer sausage or jerky, just let us know and we'll figure up a price on it. We have talked about it for several years and I know a lot of people like to do their own smoking. We haven't offered mixes before because I think it's important to use fresh ground black pepper and to crush the herb leaves right before mixing them into the meat. But if they were custom blended, like how we do it here then they could be picked up freshly vacuum sealed so that your sausage gets those aromatics, instead of them being lost to the air, and you winding up with bland seasonings. You need that bright hit of lemon from the black pepper, it's the little things that make a big difference.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you. There was a short lull in the action after we got caught up from fi****ms season. We're back in the thick of it now. If you are a late archery season hunter, you can rest easy knowing that the caring people of Denney Farms Deer Processing are here and ready to handle your deer as if it were our own. During the lull, we didn't relax and take a break, we started making improvements to the workflow. Kaizen is key, if you know about lean, then you know what I mean. Remove muda, work on kaizen!

I typed out a long-ish post and Facebook deleted it before it was posted. It went something like, we are caught up on deer, other boring stuff, I'll be here to take more deer if you have one that needs processed.

I get on here to post something, and I feel like the guys in Office Space dealing with the printer. "yeah, do that! do exactly that!"
