Our Story

BareNorth is the next chapter for Wayne and Stacey Lautsbaugh, continuing a legacy rooted in Cadott, Wisconsin. For more than two decades, they’ve built their business by following their instincts, identifying what was missing in the market, and creating products people genuinely wanted.

BareNorth is the result of that same philosophy:
a meat stick made the way it should be.

No noise. Nothing to hide. Just fuel you can trust.

Our Master Meat Crafter

We take high quality meat crafting so seriously we became masters at it. Meet Vance – Our Master Meat Crafter. Born into a family with a deep passion for hunting and a deep respect for good meat.

Vance didn’t just carry on the tradition, he took it a step further. A rigorous program built on processing principles reserved for those with years of hands-on experience in the craft. A distinction few earn but shows in every stick we make.
