As a company, we pledge to create a work environment that encourages our employees and makes them feel safe, respected, and a part of something that will someday be bigger than we could have ever imagined.
OUR BEGINNINGS
Robert & and Lynn Entrekin have been culinary competitors since the 1990s. Their love of food and huge competitive spirit fueled the creation of Spices Smokehouse Catering, the makers of Smokehouse Crackers. Smokehouse Crackers was officially established as a stand-alone product in 2017 after Lynn discovered how popular they were with their catering clients. She never dreamed a recipe shared by a friend many years ago would become a popular snack sold all across the US and beyond. COVID turned the tables for the catering business in 2020 and Lynn made the pivot into full-time snack manufacturing.
OUR PASSION
Giving back is at the core of the Smokehouse team. Over the years, Spices Smokehouse has provided thousands of holiday meals to those in need, served over 10,000 troops returning from service, and every year cook BBQ at Floyd E. Tut Fann Veteran's Home in appreciation to our Veterans for their service to our country.The Smokehouse Cracker team has been very involved in disaster relief, working with many organizations over the years. They have provided thousands of hot meals to people impacted by hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. In 2022, the team raised 10,000 for the Children's Hospital of Alabama with the sale of their Limited-Edition holiday Cinnamon Cracker. Serving is in our DNA and we want that to show through our actions of giving back to our community.
1 Peter 4:10 (NIV) Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.
