Rafter M Meats

Rooted in Southern Arizona, our family carries a proud legacy of ranching and mining. When you visit or give us a call, chances are you'll be speaking with one of us—we’re hands-on and deeply involved, just like the Harris family who founded the Willcox Packing House back in 1955. Today, the tradition continues with the Merrill brothers at the helm.

Since acquiring the AZDA-inspected facility in 2019, the Merrills have transformed it into a state-of-the-art operation featuring a dry-aging room, smokehouse, and retail space. In 2025, they expanded their vision by opening the Benson Butchery—making it easier to access high-quality, locally raised, and minimally processed meats.

What makes us different? The Rafter M Meats team oversees every step—from working directly with Arizona ranchers to processing in our own facility. This hands-on approach ensures unmatched freshness, traceability, and craftsmanship in every cut.

Thank you for your interest in Rafter M Meats. We’re honored to serve your family with the finest meat products Arizona has to offer

Sincerely,

 Rafter M Meats - Willcox Packing House Team
