About Us

Established in 1974, Sumas Meats is a family-run, family-oriented butcher shop built on tradition, hard work, and a passion for quality.

The shop was founded by Kurt Krack, a trained butcher and sausage maker who immigrated to Canada from Germany, alongside his wife, Gisela. With his knowledge of traditional German butchery and sausage-making, Kurt built Sumas Meats from the ground up, creating a business centered around quality products, personal service, and treating every customer like family.

Carrying on that tradition, Kurt’s son, Ullie Krack, now owns and runs the shop. Having grown up around the business, Ullie has continued to carry forward the same values and dedication that his father established over 50 years ago. His goal has always been to maintain the quality and passion that made Sumas Meats what it is today, while continuing to build a future for the next generation.

Today, Ullie is proud to have both of his children working alongside him at Sumas Meats. By learning the trade and becoming involved in the day-to-day operations of the shop, they are helping carry the family tradition forward while bringing their own personalities, skills, and ideas to the business. Having the next generation working side by side with him is an important part of keeping the legacy of Sumas Meats alive and ensuring that the knowledge and traditions passed down from Kurt continue into the future.

Over the years, everyone who has found themselves at Sumas Meats has become part of the family, related by blood or not. We take pride in the work we do, the relationships we have built with our customers and community, and the traditions that have been passed down through generations.

For us, Sumas Meats is more than just a butcher shop. It is a family business built on generations of dedication, a love for the craft, and a commitment to providing the same quality and care that has been at the heart of Sumas Meats since 1974.
