The payoff is in the process, and nothing is more gratifying than knowing you are in control. You can provide substance for you and your family with a little help from the right tools. And, while doing so, building memories that will last generations. Its with this spirit that I founded CHARD in 2009. Growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I learned from an early age the value and purpose of providing our own meals with my parents, grandparents and many aunts and uncles. Everything always seemed to taste better when we did it ourselves. As I grew older and continued the tradition with my children, I was constantly working to improve the process. Now, as President of CHARD, I am always searching for ways to enhance existing products as well as create new ones so that others can form similar memories and bring the process to life with their family. From outdoor cooking, to game processing , to simple food preparation, we ask that you always Make it Yours with CHARD products. - RiCHARD Carey
