About
Tradition you
can taste
At StoneRidge, we believe great flavor starts with integrity. We make premium, old-fashioned meat snacks with bold taste and uncompromising quality, using premium ingredients and time-honored smoking methods. From our signature THICK Sticks to our classic summer sausages, every product is proudly crafted in Wisconsin and paired with high-quality cheese sourced from trusted local creameries. We do things the right way, even when it takes longer. Because shortcuts don’t make legends. Craftsmanship does.
From a Small Wisconsin Smokehouse to a Nationwide Favorite.
StoneRidge began in Wautoma, Wisconsin, where 2nd and 3rd generation sausage makers built a business on passion, patience, and smoke. We opened our first store in 2004 with one goal: to make meat the old-fashioned way, without compromise, and pair it with the highest-quality Wisconsin cheeses sourced from trusted local creameries.
When a devastating fire destroyed our original facility in 2005, we rebuilt bigger and better, with a renewed commitment to quality and craftsmanship. By 2008, our wholesale division was born, bringing StoneRidge snacks and carefully sourced Wisconsin cheeses to shelves across the country.
Today, we’re still proudly independent, still family-driven, and still making snacks that live up to our roots: THICK-cut, boldly flavored, and made with pride in the heart of Wisconsin.
Quality that runs deep.
We’ve never been interested in cutting corners. From sourcing local ingredients to partnering with Wisconsin creameries and, we believe real flavor comes from real relationships. Our state-of-the-art facilities let us scale that craftsmanship without losing what matters most — care, consistency, and authenticity.
Every product stamped with the StoneRidge name is a promise. No shortcuts. No compromises. And never small flavor.
Built by hands that care
StoneRidge is built by people who care deeply about what they make — and who they make it for. Our team is fueled by pride, creativity, and a shared belief that good food brings people together. That care shows up in our craftsmanship as much as in our culture.
We believe great craftsmanship comes from continued learning and investment in our people. One example is the University of Wisconsin’s Meat Master Crafter Program — one of the most respected and selective meat science programs in the world. Two members of our team are among just 151 graduates globally, and that expertise informs everything we make.
Whether we’re crafting a batch of THICK Sticks or fine-tuning a new recipe, every member of our crew plays a role in shaping the StoneRidge story — one bold bite at a time.
Certified to the Highest Standards.
Every StoneRidge product is made to meet or exceed industry and regulatory standards. Our facilities are USDA inspected, FDA registered, and SQF certified — with additional certifications for Organic, GFCO (Gluten-Free), and Non-GMO production. These credentials reinforce our commitment to quality and ensure your products meet the expectations of today’s discerning consumers.
