In the early 1900’s, our co-owners, Jamie Mackenthun and Jessa Theis’s, great-great grandfather, August Mackenthun, opened a small meat market in Plato, Minnesota. In 1917, August’s son, Arthur, moved the business to Waconia. After WWll, Arthur and his son, Mack, relocated a sausage maker by the name of Reinholdt Schultz from Germany. Schultz brought delicious new sausage recipes from his country. These are many of the same recipes that are still used today in our Signature Meats.
