Founded

1888

Since 1888, Croghan Meat Market has made traditional cured and smoked meats in its Croghan, New York, processing plant and retail shop, best known for the Swiss-style ring sausage that became Croghan Bologna. The Campany family has carried the business through four generations, continuing to make its recipes from scratch at the same Main Street location while selling to customers across Northern New York and beyond. Its federally inspected plant combines that long local history with modern food-safety oversight.

• Weaver's of WellsvilleSince Jacob Weaver began cutting meat on his Northern York County farm in 1889, Weaver’s of Wellsville has grown into a fifth-generation, family-owned maker of smoked meats and a food distributor. The Wellsville company still smokes its meats over open fires fueled by locally sourced logs, carrying its old-fashioned bologna and other family recipes from a local butcher shop to customers nationwide. With 75 employees today, Weaver’s also offers private-label production and custom deer-meat processing.WELLSVILLE, PA
• Troyer's Genuine Trail BolognaSince Michael Troyer bought a meat market in Trail, Ohio, in 1912, Troyer’s Genuine Trail Bologna has made its signature all-beef bologna with a secret family recipe and hickory smoking. Now operated by fourth-generation brothers Ken and Kevin Troyer, the family business produces roughly 25,000 pounds a week and ships its bologna nationwide. A store at the factory keeps the Holmes County tradition close to home, serving fresh cuts and hot sandwiches alongside the packaged product.DUNDEE, OH
• Seltzer's Smokehouse MeatsSince Harvey Seltzer developed his spice blend in 1902, Seltzer’s Smokehouse Meats has made Lebanon Bologna and other all-beef smoked meats in Palmyra, Pennsylvania. Now fourth-generation owned, the family still uses tall wooden smokehouses and hand-tended fires for its signature three-day natural hardwood smoking process, without fillers or artificial smoke. Seltzer’s was the country’s first federally inspected Lebanon Bologna company and remains one of the oldest continually USDA-inspected operations in the United States.PALMYRA, PA
