Meet the Family
The People Behind the Smoke
Luna & Dad Smokehouse is more than a snack company. It's a father-daughter dream, supported by a family that's building something special together right here in Buford, Georgia.
Dad · Founder & Smokehouse Pitmaster
Chonsey
Dad has always loved cooking, grilling and bringing people together through food. But Luna & Dad Smokehouse wasn't born from a business plan. It started with a homemade smoked snack mix he made for neighbors during Christmas.
Then he started bringing it to family gatherings, pool parties and the office. People kept asking the same question:
“How can I buy this?”
That question sparked something bigger.
Today, Dad is taking his love of cooking and building a business alongside Luna — one designed to create great food, teach entrepreneurship and build something their family can be proud of for generations.
"The snacks started the business. Building something with my daughter is the reason behind it."
Co-Founder · Creative Partner · Taste Tester
Luna
Luna has always loved being in the kitchen with Dad — helping cook, create and, of course, taste.
When Luna & Dad Smokehouse began taking shape, putting her name on the company meant something bigger than branding. This was going to be something they built together — a father-daughter business where Luna could see an idea grow from the kitchen table into something real.
Along the way, Luna is learning about creativity, entrepreneurship, responsibility and what it means to help build something of your own.
And she still holds one of the most important jobs in the Smokehouse — taste tester.
The Family Behind Luna & Dad
Emily & Chloe
Luna & Dad may be the names on the sign, but this has always been a family journey.
Emily is the steady hand behind the scenes — helping turn the vision into reality, keeping things organized and making sure family stays at the center of the business as it grows.
And Chloe is the youngest member of the Smokehouse crew. For now, she's watching, learning and growing up alongside the business.
Because what we're building isn't just for today. We're building something both of our girls can one day be part of — if they choose.
A Family Business, For Real
We're not using "family-made" as a marketing phrase. It's how this business is actually being built.
From Dad and Luna making batches together, to Emily helping behind the scenes, to Chloe growing up alongside it — Luna & Dad Smokehouse is a family project from the ground up.
We're building it right here in Buford, Georgia, one batch, one lesson and one memory at a time.
Smoked by our family. Shared with yours.
What We Believe
Smoked with Purpose
Smoke isn't an afterthought. It's part of what makes our snack mix different.
Small Batches. Big Flavor.
We started small for a reason — so every batch gets the attention it deserves.
Family at the Center
The business may grow, but the reason we're building it will always come back to family.
Built for Something Bigger
We're creating more than a snack. We're teaching, learning and building something the next generation can be proud of.
