Why R&J Seafoods?
Initially the company started as R&J Enterprises in 1979. The company was started by husband and wife team Randy and Juanita Meier, hence the “R&J”. A few years later the company changed it’s name to R&J Seafoods.
Why you’re in the business?
Randy and Juanita Meier moved to Alaska as teachers. Like most Americans, they had goals of being able to retire someday and dreams of helping send their children to college. Teaching alone was not going to make their goals and dreams a reality. Having summers off, commercial fishing was the perfect match.
Ryan Meier (son) has followed in his parent’s footsteps as a teacher. This allows him to commit his time in the summer to help further develop the family business. His wife Adrienne (daughter-in-law) works along side him assisting in marketing and sales.
Mindy Meier (daughter) works with troubled kids during the off-season. During the summers she lends her expertise while running our retail store. Like the rest of the family, Mindy takes pride in the family business and wants to continue its success.
Nate (son-in-law) and Amy Berga (daughter) work for the family business full time. They are responsible for research, marketing and managing the office. Working for the family business allows their daughter Madison and son Ethan extra time with their grandparents, aunt and uncle during the summer.
Knowledge/Qualifications, Passion…
Randy and Juanita have been involved in every aspect of the salmon industry. They have spent the last 27 years buying, catching, processing and selling salmon on the Kenai Peninsula.
The family shares a passion for quality. Our goal is to provide a superior product that is unrivaled by any other.
