Our Team
Jon and Craig opened Von Hanson's Meats in Monticello, MN in 2000. Looking for a new challenge and after feedback from our Meats customers, Jon and Craig embarked on a new venture in 2017, Von Hanson's Snacks.
In October 2017 our production plant in Becker, MN was operational, producing and distributing seasoned pretzels and other snacks. In 2018 we grew out of MN and now have customers all over the Midwest!
