Badger Boiled Ham

read moreBadger Ham Company began in 1939, as an entrepreneurial dream in a modest 2,000 sq.ft. Building located at 35th and Lincoln, the bustling commerce side of Milwaukee. Soon after, a partnership evolved combining the experience and talents of Jacob Schwellinger and Frank Rakowski. Jacob, an experienced meat cutter, was versed in the old world techniques of curing and smoking ham, while Frank complimented the team with a knack for salesmanship. Together they focused on a single-minded goal, to specialize on one product: Ham, and to do it better than anyone else.
