We Believe Food Should be Local

We are a small, family-owned business. Since 1939, we've been operating on 35th and Lincoln in Milwaukee, WI. Nothing makes us prouder than serving our community wholesome and delicious ham!

Our business, and other small food manufacturers like us, are a unique and memorable part of Wisconsin. We want to stay local and independent and will always work towards providing a quality product to our neighbors around the state!

We Never Compromise on
Process and Ingredients.

Process Makes Perfect. Our distinct quality comes from a proprietary family recipe using an authentic flavoring blend with clove, cane sugar, brown sugar, maple sugar, and local honey. Hardwood smoked. No dextrose, lactate, ascorbate, corn syrup, or liquid smoke–never frozen and made in small batches and hand-trimmed using original techniques and recipes from 1939.

We Honor Our Employees.

Our employees make all the difference. We would be nothing without our dedicated team. The average tenure with the company is almost a decade, and for some, it's for life.

They are local meat crafters who come to work daily with one thing in mind: making the best possible product they can. People who care make Badger Ham and bring craftsmanship to every part of the process.

We Serve Our Community and Customers.

We are continually working to help our customers and community. Caring for our employees, customers, and the larger community is part of who we are. We are also working on sustainability standards and creating a more local and sustainable food supply chain. We strive to always provide the best ingredients for the best ham sandwich possible.
