MEET THE BISHER’S TEAM
Beginning January 1st, 2026 Bisher’s Quality Meats is excited to share that ownership is transitioning from one local family to another. This change ensures our steadfast commitment to quality and ethically raised meat, along with our dedication to our cherished customers. Our strong family values will remain at the forefront, promising you the same trusted and beloved service you’ve come to expect.
A New Chapter, Rooted in the Same Values
Hi we are Chad and Stacey Garrett. We have three kids, Charli, Tyler and Wesley. Fifteen years ago, our family moved to Ramona in search of a quieter, more grounded way of life—somewhere our kids could grow up with dirt under their boots, fresh air in their lungs, and the kind of community you only find in a small town. We found all of that here, and more.
As our family settled in, we began raising our own meat to ensure we were feeding our kids the way we believed in—animals raised humanely, with respect from start to finish. What started as a personal commitment quickly grew into a passion for ethical, responsible meat production. Ensuring animals live an enjoyable stress free life in turns generates the highest quality of meat
So when the opportunity arose to purchase Bisher’s Quality Meats, it felt less like a business decision and more like a calling. We saw a chance to give back to the community that welcomed us, by continuing to provide access to ethically raised animals and high‑quality, trustworthy meat. Bisher’s has always stood for integrity, craftsmanship, and that old‑time butcher feel—and we’re honored to carry that legacy forward.
OWNERS
Josh
Manager & Master Butcher
Hi I’m Josh. I grew up in the Bostonia area of East El Cajon. At 18, I entered the hazardous waste demolition and removal field, working for two companies that specialized in asbestos and lead abatement, and later mold remediation. In 1998, I earned my mold remediation certification through the IICRG, after which I focused exclusively on mold work.
In 2002, I moved to Ramona. The following year, in June of 2003, I stopped at Bisher’s Quality Meats while on my way to my father’s home on Creelman to buy him a Father’s Day steak. A “Help Wanted” sign in the window caught my attention. Having grown weary of aspects of the mold industry, I decided to inquire about the position.
I gave notice to my previous employer and began working at Bisher’s Quality Meats on July 7, 2003. That decision marked a turning point, leading to long-term stability and deeper roots in the Ramona community.
I married my junior high school sweetheart, Kerry, and have lived in Ramona ever since. Outside of work, my life revolves around my animals—three dogs and two cats—and staying busy doing what I enjoy most.
My hopes of having a job with zero drama, corruption, or politics were completely fulfilled. The original owner Dan Bisher is as down-to-earth, reasonable, and kind as anyone could hope for. Everything I know today came from his vast knowledge of the industry and his skill in this profession. He treated everyone with respect and never compromised on product quality or processing standards, which aligned perfectly with my own values.
Why Bisher’s?
I’ve always been treated the way I believe I deserve, and the new owners, Chad and Stacey, are keeping that same spirit alive. I truly enjoy learning about this industry and sharing honest, accurate information with anyone who asks. I also love interacting with our customers and making sure they’re satisfied with every purchase.
One of my favorite parts of the job is the challenge of cutting custom meats and whole animals exactly to customer specifications. Customers are often surprised by what we’re willing to do and how the finished product turns out. This is, for lack of a better term, a dying trade, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to help keep it alive. Hearing positive feedback from customers brings me a great deal of joy.
Favorites at Bisher’s:
My favorite items definitely depend on the occasion. My top steak choice is a 30–35 day aged ribeye from the chuck end. This cut is the fattier side of the ribeye, and the truth is, fat really is flavor. A very close second is a properly aged Ranchero griller—well-marbled flap meat seasoned with our house seasoning.
My third favorite item, especially when feeding a group, is our red oak tri-tip. I rarely enjoy any of our meats—whether beef, pork, or chicken—without our cheese-stuffed mushrooms. They seriously complement meats incredibly well.
I also love our bone-in pork chops, garlic ranch chicken breasts, and both of our marinated chicken thighs, teriyaki or adobo.
Trapper
Master Butcher
Hi, I'm Trapper. I originally started at Bisher's around 2009 and over the years learned my way around the butcher shop. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and getting out on the trails with our dogs.
I enjoy working at Bisher's because it's a place that values quality and customer service. I like being in an environment where attention to detail matters and customers can trust what they're getting. Over the years, I've picked up a lot of knowledge from custom processing and making different varieties of sausage to working with our marinades and it's been a great skill set to have.
My go to choice will always be a ribeye. If I'm cooking a steak just for myself, I know it will be packed with flavor. If I'm feeding a few more people and want that same great flavor, I'll choose a tri tip.

My name is Forrest and I've lived in Ramona my whole life.
I've been working at Bisher's for 10 years and don't see myself working anywhere else.
