In 1982 Pernat/Haase was started in Juneau Wisconsin by Earl Buchberger father of Bonnie Pernat. Brian Pernat Began to work for Earl learning how to process beef, hogs and create award winning sausage recipes. In 1984 unexpectedly Earl passed away leaving Brian and Bonnie in a position to continue and buy the company or go another route. Brian and Earl had just began creating their sausage blends when earl passed, and this made the drive for Brian to continue pushing to make the great product and company we now have. The Juneau location still stands and has a fully state inspected slaughter floor as well as a sausage kitchen and retail front.

Pernat’s has locations in Johnson Creek, Ixonia and Juneau.
