HB Slakter · Ixonia, Wisconsin
Wisconsin knows brats. These are the good ones.
Old-fashioned brats made in small batches with a local craftsman butcher. Natural casings, a cut-and-grind that takes longer than it has to, and four flavors worth driving for.

Same standards, same butcher, same small-batch care. The rest of the hog is waiting when the brats run out.
The Kitchen
The whole hog, one recipe at a time.
Brats on the grill, chops in the cast iron, bacon in the oven. A growing collection of ways to cook HB pork, whatever the weather.
How it started
It started with a few Berkshire hogs on pasture in Ixonia.
Two brothers-in-law, Jon and Scott, their wives, and the eight kids between them, plus a hobby that got out of hand. We started with the pigs. A local butcher we trust does the cutting: natural casings, small batches, no shortcuts.
The pasture set the standard. Every batch since has been held to it.
