Established in 1938, Chase Moorehead took over ownership of the Ventura Locker in July of 2025. The Ventura Locker strives to provide the best-quality meats in North Iowa. The locker is a state-inspected custom processing plant. We currently process beef and hogs and also carry a full line of retail meats.

Chase was born and raised in Ventura, IA. He worked full time at the locker for eight years before he took over ownership from his father, Jeremy and Susie Moorehead. He is excited to continue to bring the community the same great service they have all come to know and love!

This locker has been my livelihood for the past 10 years and I'm excited to see where this new journey of ownership will take me! I strive to have the best customer service and provide the best quality of meats possible to our customers! The support my community has given me since taking over ownership has been nothing short of amazing and I'm excited to continue to uphold the lockers outstanding reputation going forward!
