Farming and the meat trade have been in the Grega family for over 150 years.. Going back 5 generations to our farm in Slovakia in the 1860’s.  My great, great grandparents were butchers on a small farm in Slovakia. My Great Grandfather Zada, born in 1897, was a butcher and a carpenter.  My Great Grandmother Baba, born in 1901, would help Zada butcher meats as well.  Zada came to America in 1923 to Michigan to continue as a butcher and a carpenter in the “Promised Land.”  My Grandfather, Bert (top left picture) Followed the family roots but migrated towards the American style (Barbecue) of meat smoking.
