Discover the Heart of Heritage Pork

At HB Slakter, we raise heritage pigs on our pastures in Ixonia, Wisconsin, with a focus on flavor, quality, and authenticity. From our best-selling brats to thick-cut chops, bacon, and beyond, we’re here to bring a fresh, modern experience to pork that still honors the traditions of small-town craft.

Honoring Traditions

At HB Slakter, we believe that food should be more than convenient—it should be nourishing, honest, and rooted in tradition. Generations ago, farming families raised livestock with patience and care, knowing that healthy herds meant healthy families. We follow that same philosophy today. By managing small herds on natural pastures and allowing them to forage the way pigs were meant to, we produce pork that is richer in nutrients, fuller in flavor, and truer to what food should be. For us, this isn’t about cutting corners or chasing quick profits. It’s about slowing down, honoring time-tested methods, and delivering results that speak for themselves—flavor, quality, and health you can taste in every bite.

The Craft

While we don’t wield the butcher’s knife ourselves, we take great pride in every step that leads up to it. Our pigs are raised on wild forage and pastures, then brought to a trusted local butcher who shares our commitment to traditional methods. From there, every detail matters—from the quality of the grind to the choice of natural casings, from careful smoking to the simple ingredients that let the meat shine. This partnership allows us to ensure that what ends up on your plate is not just another commodity product, but pork that carries the richness of its upbringing: deeply flavorful, naturally wholesome, and connected to the craft that has defined good food for centuries.

About HB Slakter

Heritage. Family. Flavor.

HB Slakter is family through and through. We’re two brother-in-laws—Jon, with a background in education, and Scott, with a background in marketing—who share Scandinavian farming roots and a passion for raising heritage pigs. With the support of our wives and our eight children, HB Slakter has become a true family effort. Together, we feed the animals, move them through the pastures, and care for the land we’ve been entrusted with.

Our farm sits just outside Ixonia, Wisconsin, where rolling fields, spring-fed creeks, and wild fruit trees make for ideal pastures. On summer evenings, fireflies dance across the grass while our pigs root, wallow, and forage the way they were meant to. This natural rhythm is what first drew us in—what began as a hobby to provide our families with healthy, great-tasting pork has grown into a small business that now serves neighbors, friends, and communities across the Midwest. At its core, HB Slakter is about family feeding family—ours, and yours.

We believe that great taste starts with great care. From the pasture to your plate, every step of our process is designed to ensure the highest standards of quality. Our brats, bacon, chops and more are crafted with precision and passion, offering a taste that is both nostalgic and innovative. At HB Slakter, we are committed to bringing you the best of both worlds: the timeless essence of traditional butchery from a modern perspective.
