The Home of Croghan Bologna since 1888...

Come get fresh Croghan Bologna at noon every Thursday! Here is our long history...

In the early 1800's immigrant Fred Hunziker came to the United States from Switzerland. He was a butcher by trade and continued that work here in Croghan. He married Louise Schneeberger and he and his young brother-in-law Jacob Frederick Schneeberger worked together in

the meat business where they made a ring bologna from a recipe that Hunziker had known in Switzerland. Distribution was in the Croghan area, neighboring hamlets and also to Adirondack lumber camps where lumberjacks dubbed it 'Croghan Bologna'. In 1907 at age 22 Jacob Schneeberger left the business to work for the J.P. Lewis paper mill in Beaver Falls, N.Y. where he worked for over 50 years until his retirement. Fred Hunziker hired Elmer "Buddy" Campany to come and work for him. Buddy had been the meat cutter at the Fenton House, a busy Adirondack hotel located at Number Four. Buddy married Jessie Bush who had worked in the Number Four area for the Ohio owners of the National Cash Register Company who had vacation property there. Both Buddy and Jessie were Croghan natives and probably happy to again be living in their hometown. Jessie is remembered as working very hard at canning beef which was a necessity due to limited refrigeration and which could then be sold to customers. Hunziker had seen two fires destroy the village and after the second one in 1912 the Meat Market was built with bricks made right here in the township which match several other buildings that remain here in the village. In 1919 Hunziker retired and sold the business to Buddy Campany. Buddy and Jessie lived in half of the building and several of their children were born here. The children recall peeling garlic and the girls recall doing some of the bookkeeping. A cousin Peter Turck recalled that his mother raised an acre of garlic which she grew for the meat market and his father had one barn full of pigs that were also sent to the meat market. Buddy's brother-in-law Leslie "Cooper" Bush also worked at the Meat Market for many years as did many other family members and young men of the community. In 1951 Buddy retired and sold the business to his two sons John Gilbert and Anthony and to Hunzikers nephew Carl Nuspliger, whom Hunziker had raised. In 1963 Carl Nuspliger retired, he had worked for over 50 years at the Market. He sold his share to John and Anthony Campany. In the late 1980's Anthony retired selling his share to John Gilbert. In 1995 John Gilbert sold the business to his son John Michael Campany, who is now keeping tradition selling the business to his daughter, Blaine Elizabeth Campany, making it a fourth generation owned family business.

Just wanted to give our friends over at Red Barn Meats, INC on the Briot Road a little shout-out.

When we head to camp, sometimes we just don't feel like cooking. We usually give them a call and order a couple racks of their ribs, and we're set.

Honestly, they're so good we just eat them right out of the foil. Then later that night, when we're sitting around the campfire and get hungry again, we'll warm a few up over the firepit... and somehow they're even better. The racks are huge, so we never come close to finishing them in one sitting!

We're a meat market too, so we know good meat when we eat it. We have no problem giving credit where it's due, and these ribs deserve it. If you haven't tried them yet, you're missing out!

*Our employee,Chris, laughing at me trying to take his picture while he's embracing his inner fat kid 😂😂😂
