Farmers Market Foods Launches the Next Generation of Clean-Label Charcuterie

Family-owned brand expands nationwide with all-natural sausages, cheeses, and Apex Wild Game snack sticks amid surging demand for clean snacking and corporate gifting

LAKE ZURICH, Ill. — Farmers Market Foods is redefining American charcuterie with a new generation of clean-label, all-natural sausages, Wisconsin cheeses and wild-game snack sticks, meeting today’s growing demand for transparency and taste without compromise.

Family-owned for three generations, the company blends heritage craftsmanship with modern health standards to deliver premium, all-natural foods made in the United States.

Now available nationwide at GetFarmersMarket.com, its expanded lineup includes naturally fermented summer sausages, premium Wisconsin cheeses and the pioneering Apex Wild Game collection, just in time for the holiday gifting season.

According to SPINS and Numerator data, clean-ingredient snack brands are among the fastest-growing in the $126 billion U.S. snacking category, with shelf-stable meat snacks up more than 10 percent in the past year. This underscores consumers’ shift toward protein-rich, additive-free foods.

All Farmers Market Foods products are Non-GMO, gluten-free, keto-friendly and shelf-stable, offering a clean, portable alternative for everyday snacking, gifting and entertaining.

Snacking Made Clean As consumers increasingly seek transparency, convenience and clean ingredients, Farmers Market Foods stands at the intersection of heritage and innovation:

• Clean Label Promise: Minimal, recognizable ingredients with no unnecessary additives
• Natural Fermentation: Crafted with lactic acid cultures, not encapsulated citric acid, for richer, more complex flavor
• Shelf-Stable Innovation: Maintains freshness without refrigeration or artificial preservatives
• Wholesome Versatility: Non-GMO, gluten-free and protein-rich options that fit modern lifestyles

Expanding Access Nationwide

Beyond online retail, Farmers Market Foods is rapidly expanding its corporate gifting and wholesale programs, tapping into a corporate gifting market expected to surpass $300 billion globally by 2027 (Coresight Research).

“We believe premium, clean-label food should be accessible to everyone, whether you’re on a hiking trail, building a charcuterie board or sending a seasonal gift, ” said Sam Perl, third-generation owner of Farmers Market Foods. “Our family has been crafting sausage for decades, and now we’re taking that heritage nationwide with products that are healthy, portable and rooted in tradition. Every product reflects the same standard we’ve held for three generations: quality you can taste and trust. ”
