Wisconsin Meat Industry Hall of Fame

Oct 9, 2015

In 2011, Maplewood Meat’s founders Roger and Patricia Van Hemelryk were awarded the esteemed honor of being inducted into the Wisconsin Meat Industry Hall of Fame. In 1983, they purchased farm land on the outskirts of Green Bay and broke ground for their new business. Our original building was 3,400 square feet with one 10-foot retail case.  After four additions, our building has increased to over 35,000 square feet, with over 85 feet of full service case. We have received 152 cured meat product competition awards from the Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors, 51 national cured meat product competition awards from the American Association of Meat Processors (WAMP) and 5 international competition awards in Germany. We’re very honored to receive this recognition, and with no signs of slowing down we look forward to continuing our service to our Wisconsin customers.
