This past Saturday, Nueske’s had the pleasure of attending the Isthmus Beer & Cheese Festival in Madison, Wisconsin.  Let us assure you, there was no shortage of good brews, excellent cheeses, or Applewood Smoked Meats. For $40.00 a ticket, thirsty (and hungry) festival-goers from Madison and beyond flocked to the Alliant Energy Center Exhibition Hall […]

We’ve always been very proud of the flavor and quality of our meats, so we appreciate it when other people take notice of our specialties.  The N.A.S.F.T. (National Association for the Specialty Food Trade) is an organization that works with specialty food producers across the country and, once a year, the organization gives some very […]

Our Peppered Bacon Bread is a golden loaf of bread with a thick, chewy crust and an interior filled with bubbly, slightly sour dough enhanced with bits of zesty black tellicherry peppercorns and savory pieces of our Applewood Smoked Peppered Bacon. Simply cut into slices, toasted, and buttered; this bread is a winner.  If you […]

We were just told that today, February 25th, is National Clam Chowder Day.  You might wonder why we bring this up.  That’s simple: chowder is really, really good – but it’s even better with bacon.  Here in Wittenberg, we generally don’t make it any other way. You may not think of the Midwest when you […]

If you’re in the Chicago area, or even within reasonable driving distance, you’ll want to seriously consider getting tickets to this year’s Baconfest Chicago event.  Tickets may seem a bit pricey at $65.00… but only at first glance.  What a ticket gets you is an all-access pass to try dozens and dozens of dishes created […]

The Nueske family has had their smokehouse and meat shop in Wittenberg, Wisconsin since 1933.  The building that Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Meats is in today isn’t our original building, but you can still see our original smokehouse – along with a few other really nifty old buildings from our past – standing out in front […]

For the past few years Nueske’s is proud to have been invited to display a special ornament on the decorated holiday trees in front of the Wisconsin governor’s residence.  This year there are six different trees representing six areas important to our state.  The 2010 ornament from Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Meats is hung on the […]

Even up here in the middle of rural northern Wisconsin, we’ve noticed the urban food truck boom.   We know it has to be a big deal if we’re hearing about it all the way in Wisconsin’s northwoods, where many times the nearest dining establishments are scattered truck stops or tiny village diners and where there […]

Since we’ve all been beginning to do some heavy thinking on what to prepare for Thanksgiving in our own homes or on what we can bring to another household’s festive meal, we thought we would let you in on some of our favorite side dishes for fall and Thanksgiving. The first thing that comes to […]

This is our newest namesake, Nueske the Cat – just check the tags for proof! We heard about Nueske when his owner, Ethan, emailed us a couple of weeks ago to share pictures of his pet. Ethan’s daughter had adopted the stray cat and gave him his bacon-y title of her own accord. Since his […]
