Buchanan County Pork Producers

08/16/2026

On August 4th we partnered up with Buchanan County Sheriff's Department for National Night Out. Between all the pork burgers, hotdogs and brats we served about 810 sandwiches!

What a great event for people to be able to interact with local law enforcement and emergency services! Thank you all for such a great event! 👏

On July 23, our team had the pleasure of serving delicious pork burgers to riders as RAGBRAI made its way through Jesup, Iowa. It was an incredible turnout, and we truly enjoyed being part of this exciting community event.

A special thank you to Iowa Pork for their support, and to our very own Bacon Boy for helping make the day a success! 🥓🐷🚴‍♀️
