Our Story

About Us

The Larsons

A Family Business, Built by Hand

H&M Custom Meat LLC is a family-owned butcher shop in Creston, Washington, run by Howard and Mia Larson. The "H&M" stands for their first names — and this business is every bit a team effort.

Howard has been a professional butcher for decades. He spent years honing his craft at another processing company before he and Mia made the decision to go out on their own and build something of their own.

And build they did — literally. Howard and Mia constructed their processing facility from the ground up on their own property. After about 10 months of construction, H&M Custom Meat reopened its doors on November 1, 2024, with a state-of-the-art facility featuring modern refrigeration, freezing, and processing equipment.

Their dedication to their customers showed during the construction period. As Howard put it, some loyal customers told them "We'll wait" — and they did.

Beyond the Shop

More Than a Business

When Howard and Mia aren't processing meat, you might find them enjoying the Eastern Washington outdoors or spending time with family.

Located in the small community of Creston, they're not just business owners — they're neighbors. That community connection is at the heart of everything they do.
