A meat processor in Jasper is thriving as many businesses struggled during the height of the pandemic.
Early on in the pandemic, people flocked to stock up on food — clearing out meat lockers and freezers at stores.

Merkley and Sons Meat Packing was one of those places that was able to capitalize on the high demand.
