Proudly Serving Ohio Families for Six Generations

From our family to yours... quality meats, custom processing, and long-trusted local service.

At Link’s Meats, we’ve been helping Ohio families put better meat on the table for over Six generations.

What started as a small-town butcher shop in Crestline has grown into a trusted local meat market serving Crawford, Richland, Marion, Morrow and Wyandot counties — including communities like Mansfield, Lexington, Bucyrus, Marion, Mount Gilead, Shelby, Bellville and Upper Sandusky.

We specialize in locally raised beef and pork, sourced from family farms across Ohio, and processed with care by a team that takes pride in every cut. Whether you're stocking your freezer, feeding your family, or filling your menu — we treat your order like it’s our own.

The Link Legacy

Our story began in Crestline, Ohio, where the Link family built a reputation for quality, integrity, and community service. Over the decades, we’ve grown — but we’ve never outgrown our roots.

We’re still family owned and operated, and we believe in doing things the right way. That means hand-cut meats, personalized service, and a team that knows your name...

Our Commitment to the Community

LOCALLY OWNED.
COMMUNITY INVESTED

We proudly support youth programs, county fairs, local schools, first responders, veterans and civic groups throughout Crawford, Richland, and surrounding counties.

From partnering with 4-H at the fair to helping the youth sports teams or local VFWs, Amvets and American Legions with fundraisers, we’re committed to giving back in ways that matter.

Local Fairs

We support six local fairs by purchasing livestock and providing processing options for the community. We also host Carcass Shows, giving youth the opportunity to see the results of their hard work and understand how their efforts in raising animals translate into real-world quality and value.

Fundraisers

We’re proud to support local organizations with creative and effective fundraising opportunities. From raffling off meat bundles or whole and half hogs to offering gift certificates and other custom ideas, our fundraisers bring excitement and great results to your cause.

Schools, Local Goverment, and Nonprofits

Supporting schools, local government, and nonprofits is an important part of who we are. We take pride in partnering on projects that educate, serve, and strengthen our community — whether through donations, sponsorships, or hands-on learning opportunities.
