👀 Twenty years ago, Hillbilly Catering wasn’t a catering company at all!
We were a festival concessions business.
Back then, our goal was simple: earn enough to support our travels and fuel our obsession with exploring America’s national parks. We’d work events, load trailers, cook for crowds, hit the road, and do it all over again.
What started as a seasonal adventure slowly became something more.
Each year brought new opportunities. New customers. New challenges. New ideas.
We learned how to serve bigger crowds. We learned how to solve problems on the fly. We learned that quality matters whether you’re feeding a few hundred festival-goers or thousands of guests at a major event.
Over time, the business evolved.
Festivals led to private events. Private events led to weddings and corporate gatherings. One opportunity opened the door to the next.
There were plenty of pivots along the way, but a few things never changed: hard work, ingenuity, a commitment to quality, and a determination to keep getting better.
Twenty years later, we’re honored to be part of some of life’s most important celebrations and community events.
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re grateful to every customer, employee, vendor, partner, friend, and family member who helped shape the journey.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll share some of the stories, memories, lessons, and milestones that brought us here.
Thank you for being part of the first 20 years, we can't wait to see what 20 more will bring!
