Pierz, Minnesota

Started by Phil Thielen in 1922 and originally located in the back of a furniture store in downtown Pierz, MN, Thielen Meats has grown into a nationally-recognized brand. In 2023, Thielen Meats became proudly employee-owned, but the Thielen family are still key parts of the business, ensuring that the Thielen tradition continues in Pierz. Their house-cured bacon and hams, traditional smokehouse products, and commitment to high-quality meats that speak for themselves keep customers coming back for more.
