Hickory Farms started in 1951, when Richard Ransom sold handmade cheese at county fairs and farmers markets. Its Original Beef Stick appeared in 1956 and later became the Signature Beef Summer Sausage, and the first store opened in Toledo, Ohio in 1959. By 1981 there were more than 1000 Hickory Farms stores and holiday kiosks across the US and Canada.
The company says its cured meats and cheeses are still made in the American heartland. Its Signature Beef Summer Sausage, made with North American beef, hickory smoke, mustard seed and black pepper, took a gold medal from the American Masters of Taste program in 2011, and the range also includes turkey and Farmhouse (beef and pork) sausages plus Sweet Hot Mustard. Hickory Farms bought Wicked Good Cupcakes in 2021, has supported No Kid Hungry since 2008, and runs a corporate gifting service for business orders.
