Our Family

Glenn and Kathy Beyer founded Dutchman's Market Inc. with a simple mission: to provide high-quality meats and treat every customer like family. Glenn's passion for the meat business began in high school when he worked at Handy Andy in San Antonio, Texas. He later transferred to the Kerrville location, where he became the meat market manager. After moving to Fredericksburg in 1974 Glenn worked as a route salesman, then market manager and also on the board of directors at another meat facility here in Fredericksburg, Kathy joined Glenn at that location.  Glenn and Kathy then went on to establish their family-owned business, Dutchman's Market, in November 1986.

Although Glenn and Kathy have both passed away, their values and dedication continue to shape everything we do. Today, their sons, Barry and Brett Beyer, proudly carry on the family business as the second generation. Over the years, each of Glenn’s and Kathy's grandchildren have also worked in the store, helping continue the family tradition and the values they established.

Glenn once wrote:

"Through these doors come the best people in the world, our loyal customers."

Those words remain at the heart of our business today.

For nearly 40 years, we have been committed to providing fresh, high-quality meat products along with expert butchering and processing services. Every member of our team takes pride in each step of the process, from cutting fresh meats and blending our own seasonings to crafting specialty products, packaging them with care, and serving customers with friendly, knowledgeable service.

We are grateful to be a part of so many family dinners, holiday meals, reunions, weddings, community events, and school functions. It's an honor to serve our community, and we look forward to continuing that tradition!
