HB Slakter

HB Slakter HB Slakter offers a healthy, tender and unbeatable tasting pork. We take pride in our choice to raise traditional and healthy heritage breeds.

Our pigs are pasture-raised on natural, healthy and wild pastures as well as being small-farm-raised.

If you grew up in Wisconsin, you probably have a memory of a brat that just tasted right. Backyard cookout, county fair, grandpa's grill. Something about it stuck with you.

Here's why that memory hits different than most brats today.
In the mid-1900s, most pork came from heritage breeds - slower growing pigs with good intramuscular fat, better flavor, raised on small farms. Then commercial production scaled up, breeds were selected for growth speed and leanness, and the pork got cheaper, faster, less nutritious, and a whole lot blander.

Berkshire is one of the heritage breeds that never went that direction. Same genetics, same marbling, same reason your grandpa's version actually tasted like something.

That's what we raise in Ixonia. Some things are worth doing the old way.

This past Saturday looked a little different for us - Jon's son Wil brought some friends out to help work the booth at the Oconomowoc Farmers Market.

Next generation showing up and getting after it on a Saturday morning, brats on the grill, cooler moving, crowd coming through - love to see it.

Hot brats sold out by 11. Good crew, good market, good pork.
Thanks to everyone who came out. 🙌

If you've had our brats before, you know. If you haven't, tomorrow's a good day to find out.

We're at the Oconomowoc Farmers Market 8 to noon, grill going, full cooler of everything including brats, bacon, pork chops, breakfast links, and more.

Bring a friend, a neighbor, whoever's been hearing you talk about "that pork guy" and hasn't tried it yet. We'll take care of the rest.
See you tomorrow. 🔥

This is what 8am looks like for us on a Saturday.

Blackstone fired up, brats going, Oconomowoc Farmers Market coming to life around us. We're not big operation, no massive crew - just us, the grill, and a cooler full of Berkshire pork we raised ourselves in Ixonia.

We've been doing this almost every weekend since May and we're not tired of it yet. Especially when people walk up, take a bite, and get that look on their face.

Come find that look for yourself. We're here every Saturday, 8 to noon.

Had some folks stop by the booth this weekend who were visiting from out of state and had never had a Wisconsin brat before.

They tried ours. Stood there for a second. Then asked where they could get more before they headed home.

That's the whole thing, really. Good pork doesn't need an introduction; it just needs a first bite.

Welcome to Wisconsin. Hope it wasn't your last brat. 😄

Saturday morning at the Oconomowoc Farmers Market is a good place to be.

Good people, good energy, and a cooler full of Berkshire pork - brats in all four flavors, bacon, breakfast links, pork chops, and more. Oh, and the grill will be going. 🔥

Come stock up, say hi, and make it part of your weekend. We'll be there 8 to 12.

We didn't start HB Slakter to run a business.

We started it because we wanted pork that actually tasted like something - raised right, processed right, by people who care about how it was done.

Turns out that's a harder thing to find than it should be. So we just did it ourselves.

Berkshire pigs. Pasture in Ixonia. A local butcher who still does things the traditional way. And a Blackstone at the Oconomowoc Farmers Market every Saturday morning.

That's the whole story. Come be part of it.

Another good Saturday at the Oconomowoc Farmers Market. Steady crowd, freezer moving, good people stopping by.

This is just what we do. Show up, bring good pork, let the product speak for itself.

We'll be back next weekend. Hope to see you out there.
