ZEKE’S MEatS
Zeke prefers to be known by his first name only, “Like
Prince or Cher,” he said. This quirky, happy-go-lucky,
entrepreneur has an unmatched enthusiasm for clean
eating, and he wants to share his products with the
residents of Galveston island.
Zeke has lived in the area since the 1980s and loves the
island and its people. A long-time skipper of sailboats out
of kemah, he used to anchor off in Offatts Bayou as often
as possible. “Any day in Galveston was a good day for me,”
he said.
This 72-years-young gentleman says he is a testament to
clean eating. “i have eaten clean for most of my life and i
feel great. i want to introduce naturally-raised meats to as
many folks as i can.”
“The food in our grocery chains is loaded with antibiotics,
vaccines, preservatives, and God only knows what else. i
am committed to making the healthiest of food available
to as many people as i can. i’ve been eating this way for a
long time and it has worked for me. i know it will work for
others.”
“i am a carnivore,” Zeke said. “And i have found that most
Texans are as well. We’re hunters, too, and appreciate the
variety of wild game.”
All meats sold by Zeke are grass fed and pasture raised in
a low-stress environment, unlike those that are farmed to
feed the masses. “We carry only the best of the best as far
as healthy game goes.”
Zeke’s goal is to enlighten people to clean eating and to
encourage folks to know where their food comes from.
“Life is short,” he said. “Eating healthy will help you stay
active and, more importantly, stay functional for the long
term.”
Zeke’s offers free delivery everywhere on Galveston
island. future plans include the opening of an additional
