Our family-run operation isn’t just about churning out sausages (though we do that exceptionally well). It’s about consistency, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to quality that’s been passed down through generations. Every sausage we make is a testament to our dedication—fresh, flavorful, and just a little bit unconventional.

Our flavors are anything but ordinary. We’re not just in the sausage business; we’re in the business of pushing the envelope. From chocolate and berries to apple and maple, if it’s a flavor combination that makes you raise an eyebrow, we’ve probably perfected it. But don’t mistake our creativity for a lack of seriousness. We’re committed to our craft and to serving our local community with sausages that bring both smiles and delightful surprises.

So, whether you’re a longtime local or just passing through, know that when you bite into a Poppies sausage, you’re tasting a legacy. A legacy of hard work, a bit of humor, and a whole lot of love. We’re proud to carry on Poppie’s name and even prouder to keep doing what we love. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about making the best damn sausage we can—and making sure Poppie is smiling down on us, probably with a raised eyebrow of his own.

EVERY SAUSAGE TELLS A STORY

AND HERE'S OURS

WE BELIEVE IN CRAFTING UNIQUE FLAVORS IN ARTISANAL BATCHES.

At Poppie’s, we believe in two things: making the best sausages you've ever tasted and making our great grandfather, Poppie, proud. It’s a tall order, but when you're crafting artisanal sausages by hand, you learn a thing or two about meeting high standards—mostly because Poppie wouldn't have had it any other way.

OUR PROCESS

FOR FRESH SAUSAGE? MIDWEST IS THE BEST

SOURCED MEAT FROM THE MIDWEST AND PROCESSED BY US IN SMALL BATCHES

At Poppies, we take pride in keeping things local and hands-on. Our sausages are processed right here in the community, using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations.

 

Each sausage is carefully handmade, ensuring that every batch meets our high standards of quality and flavor. By processing locally, we support our community while maintaining the freshness and authenticity that set our sausages apart. You can taste the difference that local, artisanal craftsmanship makes in every bite.
