Jennie-O Cash Bids in Minnesota

About Jennie-O

​Jennie-O is a well-known American brand specializing in turkey products. Founded in 1940 by Earl B. Olson in Willmar, Minnesota, the company began with a small turkey processing operation and has since grown into one of the largest turkey product producers in the United States. The name “Jennie-O” comes from Earl’s daughter, Jennifer Olson, reflecting the company’s family roots.

Over the decades, Jennie-O became recognized for its wide range of turkey products, including whole turkeys, ground turkey, deli meats, bacon, sausages, and pre-seasoned or ready-to-cook items. The company has built a strong reputation for promoting healthy, lean protein alternatives and was one of the early adopters of consumer education around turkey as a year-round meat option—not just a holiday staple.

In 1986, Jennie-O was acquired by Hormel Foods Corporation, which further expanded its reach and production capacity. With its integration into Hormel, Jennie-O has maintained its brand identity while benefiting from the scale and distribution power of its parent company. Today, Jennie-O products are available across North America in major retail chains and foodservice providers.

In recent years, Jennie-O has also made headlines for efforts to improve food safety and transparency in production, including handling outbreaks and refining its animal welfare standards. The brand remains a staple in many households, particularly among consumers seeking healthier protein options.​​
