Now based in Richmond Hill, Richard Ransom founded the first Hickory Farms over 60 years ago in the pastoral farm country of Ohio. He started the company by selling hand cut cheeses at local home shows. The rich flavor and uncompromising quality were an immediate hit, and would become the hallmark of the company. Never one to rest, Mr. Ransom soon added his now famous beef summer sausage to the offering. Tasty mustards and crackers followed. Sample some of our delicious treats by paying us a visit today!
