The frank
A better hot dog starts long before the grill.
We know every animal, every farm and every hand behind our franks. Our meat comes from member farms raising to standards we set together. We grind, season and smoke it ourselves with nothing artificial. You can taste the difference.
Quality you can trust. Local and independent.
We built an entire private food system, the Local Meat Club, to keep our food free of chemicals and free of Wall Street. Become a member and get our franks, grassfed beef, raw milk, raw butter, organic pastured eggs and more delivered to your door every week.

The mission behind the franks
Every frank helps raise a producer.
The Good Frank is also a school. Young people from our neighborhoods learn to make, price, sell and lead, and work their way toward owning a cart of their own. What they build stays in the community.

Learn — Lead — Operate — Own
