“Our mission is building community through agriculture, and across all of Hickory Nut Gap products, hot dogs exemplify that the best,” said Jamie Ager, Hickory Nut Gap Meats CEO and fourth-generation family farmer. “Campfires, baseball, trips to the lake or beach—we love the nostalgia and taste of hot dogs, and we make them better by only using clean ingredients and always 100% grassfed beef. We know customers feel this way too and will love supporting local, family farmers while providing their loved ones with a delicious- tasting hot dog.”

For Hickory Nut Gap Meats, clean ingredients mean using 100% grass-fed and grass-finished cattle that are raised on high-quality pasture without the use of antibiotics or added hormones. It also means that Hickory Nut Gap hot dogs are minimally processed with no preservatives, fillers, artificial ingredients, added nitrates or nitrites, gluten, lactose or MSG.

Available in all-new retail and foodservice packaging, Hickory Nut Gap’s 100% Grassfed Beef Uncured Hot Dog will be a welcome addition to retail shelves and menus. This product aligns with initiatives in sustainable and regenerative agriculture, support of local farmers, animal welfare, and healthy, clean ingredient labels.
