Father’s Day Around the Grill: A Wisconsin Tradition

When we think about the moments that matter, it’s rarely the things we’ve bought — it’s the memories we’ve made. And for many families, Father’s Day is a chance to create one of those moments: a day centered not on gifts, but on togetherness.

At WisconsinMade, we believe that the table — and the grill — are some of the best places to bring people together. That’s why this year, we’re highlighting an artisan whose work has been helping families do just that for over a century.

Neesvig’s Purveyors, founded in 1913, is Wisconsin’s oldest supplier of fine meats. From their start in Madison to their current home in Windsor, their mission has remained the same: to offer meats that elevate the everyday meal into something worth remembering.

And what better occasion than Father’s Day?
There’s something timeless about gathering in the backyard, the sound of a steak hitting the grill, the smell of burgers sizzling, laughter echoing through the air. For many of us, those are the moments that define Father’s Day — not just celebrating Dad, but celebrating with him.

Neesvig’s brings a spirit of craftsmanship to every cut. Their hand-selected, expertly aged steaks and signature burgers aren’t just ingredients — they’re an invitation to slow down, cook with care, and enjoy the simple pleasure of a meal shared with loved ones.

So whether you’re firing up the grill with Dad, surprising him with a box of his favorite cuts, or planning a Father’s Day feast that the whole family will remember, Neesvig’s offers more than flavor — it offers a chance to create tradition.

This Father’s Day, make it about more than the gift. Make it about the gathering. Make it about the moment.
