Cher-Make Sausage Company has made the commitment to an ideal: Keep it Authentic! Old world recipes (with an occasional new world twist!)
ONCE UPON A TIME... The Cher-Make story starts with Emil Chermak and a bunch of great old world sausage recipes. In 1928, Emil decided it was time to share these great recipes with neighbors in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. "I used to walk and hand deliver to nearby homes with my wagon," recalls Art Chermak, Emil's son and second generation owner. Cher-Make Sausage Company fame and quality standards led to quick growth, and success led to the building of a plant in the 1930's.
By 1950, Art entered a partnership with family member Merlyn Hoefner, and the Cher-Make brand grew even more. Art went on to be named to the Wisconsin Meat Packers Hall-Of-Fame. Today, Art's son Tom Chermak, along with Merlyn's son Chuck Hoefner help lead in the continuation of the family sausage making tradition... high quality products produced by a high quality workforce. We proudly present "Authentic" people on our labels, to remind us that we are providing the central part of a family meal or celebration.
