Our History

A Legacy Built Through Decades of Dedication

Our history
Before 1983

Before John and Barbra Rua shaped its reputation, we were Chilvers Meat.

1983 - A Legacy Begins

John Rua takes ownership of Chilvers Meat. Through honesty and hard work, he builds something special a name local families come to trust.

Decades of Dedication

John and Barbra Rua shape the business into a community cornerstone. What started as Chilvers Meat becomes RUA Meats, known for quality and integrity.

2020

During COVID-19, the previous owner seeks someone who understands the business's true value. Coming from healthcare backgrounds, we see a chance to continue our mission.
