It was 1889 when a historic event took place in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. That's when a little-known dairy farmer named Milo Jones had a taste for sausage. Not just any sausage. But the sausage his mother used to make from a cherished family recipe. The Jones family had been in Fort Atkinson since the 1830's when they bought the farm as part of a landgrant signed by President John Tyler. And even though Milo was struck with rheumatoid arthritis and could no longer operate the farm, he did find a way to make that sausage. In fact, he made enough sausage to give to his neighbors. And they liked it so much he made some more.Soon, word of Milo's great tasting sausage spread. And his dedication to quality and hard work paid off as his new business began to grow. Before long, he added bacon and ham to his product line and orders came in from all over the country.

In 1932, Karl Ehmer started his first butcher shop on 46th Street and Second Avenue in New York City, NY. Due to the depression, Mr. Ehmer was forced to make product at night and work a full time job uptown during the day. Mrs. Ehmer ran the shop during the daylight hours. In the 1940's, as times improved, Mr. Ehmer began to look for a larger manufacturing facility and found one in a German community in Queens, called Ridgewood. From this facility he manufactured products for six stores.Karl Ehmer is where you expect the wurst, and you'll get it. The company specializes in traditional German sausages and other meats, selling its wares at retail stores and to wholesale customers. Karl Ehmer's started with a single butcher's shop in Manhattan in 1932, then later moved to a German-American community in Queens, where its headquarters remains. The retail chain has dwindled to about 10 stores (five of which are in New York), but the company has stepped up its sales to regional distributors, high-end food emporiums like Dean & DeLuca, and other grocers, while also selling through its Web site. Brothers Mark and Alan Hanssler, grandsons of Karl Ehmer himself, acquired the company in 1993.
