Description At Hickory Farms, we’ve always believed in the power of delicious food to build connections. Richard Ransom founded the company in 1951, selling his handcrafted sausages and cheese at local fairs. The rich flavor and uncompromising quality were an immediate hit, and still remain a cornerstone of Hickory Farms.
In 2017, we relocated our headquarters from Ohio to Chicago, IL to be closer to our dedicated suppliers and distribution center. Our gourmet food gifts are found in more than 600 popup stores and kiosks throughout North America during the holiday season, as well as in leading mass merchants, supermarkets and on hickoryfarms.com year-round. We’re proud to offer the perfect gift for every occasion.
