Sogo Snacks at Madeline's
Sogo Snacks is a family-owned meat snack company in Decorah, Iowa. It was started by Dan Bellrichard and Liza Hicken, who met at Luther College and built the business around convenient, high-protein snacks for busy days. The name comes from Dan's time in Mali: "sogo" means "meat" in the Bambara language. The couple runs everything from production to fulfillment, and their kids pitch in with handwritten notes and origami in orders.
The lineup is built on clean ingredients. Sogo's no-sugar sticks are made with 100% grass-fed beef, free-range turkey, or premium natural pork, and the products are gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of added nitrates, soy, dairy, nuts, eggs, and MSG. That makes them friendly for keto, paleo, and Whole30-style eating.
Flavors run from Original and Garlic to Jalapeño, Chimichurri, Smokey Sweet, Spicy Southwest, and an Iowa Smoked recipe line, plus a barbecue and pineapple pork stick. Most flavors come as grab-and-go sticks or larger 8-oz bites, and there are several variety packs, including a build-your-own option, for sampling across meats and heat levels.
