Our Story

Safari Meats started on a farm in Alma, Georgia, in 1976. Our first recipe was a seasoning blend made from herbs and spices grown in the family garden, used on livestock raised naturally on five acres of land, the way Amish farmers have always done it. The result was a sausage that was something special, and it traveled from city to city as the family packed up and said, “Let’s go on a safari!”

Our founder wanted food that supported a healthy lifestyle for his family, with real ingredients and no loss of flavor. That standard still drives everything we make, and we hope Safari Meats stays a family business for generations.

Today our KICK’N CHICKEN Sausage (Bratwurst Links, Breakfast Links and Diced), KICK’N Chicken and BANG BANG Beef Snack Sticks, and KICK’N Finger LICK’N Seasoning are made with antibiotic-free Amish and Halal chicken and natural ingredients, with no pork, MSG, gluten or fillers. We are USDA certified with our co-packer, Winters Sausage.

Our sausage is fully cooked, so just warm it through or brown it on the grill, and find recipes at safarimeats1976.com. Stop by Woodward Corner Market, grab one of each, and taste why we call ourselves the world’s finest sausage.

We're based in Oak Park, Michigan, and you'll find us at markets and local vendors around the area before you'll find us on a big-box shelf.
