Nilssen's Blue Ribbon Meats
During the 1960's, the Nilssen's business grew to include Nilssen's Blue Ribbon meats. Larry Sr. started to compete on the state, national, and international level winning many awards for Nilssen's homemade sausages, processed meats, and unique flavors combinations. Today, Jordan Nilssen continues to compete and win awards, making Nilssen's meats Blue Ribbon for both quality and flavor. Some of the most popular Blue Ribbon meats include Nilssen's smoked boneless hams, fresh specialty bratwurst, and Nilssen's bacon.
