Josef’s Artisan Meats makes handcrafted sausages, charcuterie, and deli meats in the European tradition from its Canandaigua, New York facility. Founded in the 1960s as Hartmann’s Old World Sausage and acquired by Austrian-born Master Sausage Maker Josef Brunner and his wife, Elizabeth, in 2004, the company pairs small-batch methods with modern production equipment and distributes nationwide. Its everyday products earned extensive gold-medal recognition at the 2016 and 2019 IFFA competitions, including the Cup of Honor at both events.
