our story

a legacy of living well

It all began in 1996, when we discovered there weren’t a lot of options out there when it came to all natural* meats. This led us to the passionate pursuit of making products that help people live well. Since then, we’ve thoughtfully pushed for a higher standard of natural and organic ingredients that deliver on this promise—and that also taste delicious. 

With Wellshire, you’ll always have transparency. By partnering with local farmers, we are dedicated to humanely raising** animals that are vegetarian fed*** and always free of antibiotics. We choose to only work with farmers who maintain respect for the animals they raise. All our products—bacon, sausage, ham, deli, and hot dogs—only use minimal, real ingredients. Eating Wellshire means never having to compromise on quality, flavor, or values. 

For nearly 30 years we have been a leader in the all natural* meat industry, meticulously crafting products that we are proud to serve not only to our families, but also to yours. We’re dedicated to continuing to uphold this legacy, while also striving to bring modern innovation into your homes. Choosing Wellshire means trusting that you and your family are living well by eating well every day.

The less you add to your meat, the more quality and flavor you get. It’s just that simple.

Always All Natural*

All our animals eat healthy grain— and they prefer it that way too.

Humanely Raised**

Our animals roam in stress-free environments on our farms.

No Added Nitrates or Nitrites****

We use minimal, natural ingredients to keep our meats fresh. Remember, less is more!

No Antibiotics

Our animals will never have antibiotics in their feed, water, or by injection.

No Added Growth Hormones

None of our animals have been given hormones to help them grow.

Vegetarian Fed***

Our animals eat a clean vegetarian diet with no animal products.

Always Transparent Ingredients
