Giving Thanks With Godshall’s

Waking up on Turkey Day knowing a delicious meal awaits is a special feeling. The crisp fall air, the sounds of family chatting, and the aromas from the kitchen fill the home with warmth. There’s so much to appreciate, from moments shared with loved ones to the story behind every ingredient on the table. Thanksgiving reminds us of the care and tradition behind each meal. For generations, Godshall’s has brought premium meat specialties to family gatherings, and that is something worth celebrating.


Godshall’s began as a small family butcher shop in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Marvin K. Godshall built the business on simple values like honest work, quality ingredients, and care for the community. What started as one local shop soon grew into several delis across Pennsylvania, each one carrying on that same dedication to freshness and flavor.

Today, we have grown far beyond those early days, but the heart of what we do remains the same, with modern facilities and products found in grocery stores, delis, farmer’s markets, and restaurants across the country. We still take pride in doing things the right way, just as we always have.

It all starts with a close partnership with our vendors who make sure animal well-being is a priority. That respect we have for where our food comes from is what guides every step of what we do.

Our turkey is American-raised with no cages and no added hormones, giving you a meal that is both flavorful and thoughtful. This Thanksgiving, bring something special to the table with Godshall’s Turkey Bacon. Crisp it up for your green bean casserole or sprinkle it over mashed potatoes. However you use it, our turkey bacon adds that delicious, savory flavor that makes everything come together. Good food, great company, and moments that matter most start with Godshall’s meats.

You know the turkey is almost ready when the kitchen fills with a smoky, irresistible aroma. For 80 years, we’ve perfected smoking meat and still take pride in delivering honest, great-tasting products to your table. Using real wood smoke gives our turkey the rich, satisfying flavor families have loved for generations. Every step is done with dedication to make your meal both memorable and delicious.

Our commitment to quality, freshness, and flavor is something we uphold every day. Our family of over 500 employee-owners works hard to bring wholesome products to your table, a dedication we are especially thankful for this season. Our Culinary & Development team is always innovating to bring new, delicious options to market. From chefs to food scientists, production specialists to marketers, distribution center technicians to delivery drivers, every role plays a part in delivering on our promise.

It’s about connection, community, and care. Highlight honesty and gratitude in your holiday celebrations. Follow @Godshalls and share how you bring our carefully crafted meats to your table this Thanksgiving.
