In the fall of 1961, Don Olk moved to Boulder, Colorado from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. He brought with him a real talent for making sausage and some great recipes that he had acquired from his father who learned the art of making quality sausage in his home town in Germany.

After moving to Colorado, Don started a small meat market/delicatessen featuring his own delicious sausages and other meat products such as salami, corned beef, miscellaneous meat and cheese products. Don called his delicatessen/meat market "Don's Cheese and Sausage." It was located near the 1400 block of Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado.

From 1962 to 1980 Don's Cheese and Sausage deli's continued to attract customers from all over Boulder County with his main lunch special featuring his homemade Bratwurst sandwich, fresh warm German Potato Salad and his own special baked beans. During this time Don's deli's expanded into the Denver, Broomfield, Longmont, Ft. Collins, and Greeley markets. Don's Cheese and Sausage deli's were fast becoming one of Colorado's favorite lunchtime establishments.
It wasn't until 1985 that Don's Cheese and Sausage, under new ownership, decided to branch into selling wholesale sausage to the grocery stores under the name of the "Boulder Sausage Company". In the late 1980's, the deli's were closed and Boulder Sausage was sold to the current owners, GBS Partners, Inc. Since that time Boulder Sausage has carried on Don's great recipes under the Boulder Sausage Label. GBS Partners, Inc. feels very strongly about carrying on the heritage that Don had set before us. This is why we have continued to make "Boulder Sausage" with less fat by using only the finest cuts of pork and all natural spices with no MSG or preservatives, just the way Don made it himself.
Boulder Sausage has nine (9) great varieties of sausage available to fit any meal. These varieties include such favorites as our Mild or Hot Italian Sausages that will liven up any Italian dish. And, of course, our Bratwurst is exactly the same Bratwurst that Don made famous in his deli's. In the early 1990's two new items were added to the Boulder Sausage line. The Beer Bratwurst is the same great Bratwurst with just a splash of beer.

In 1994 Boulder Sausage moved into a new facility. Boulder Sausage continues to upgrade equipment and procedures to continue producing the best sausage products in the Colorado area. Boulder Sausage takes great pride in their emphasis on operating in full compliance with the SSOP/HAACP program as outlined by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Although Don is no longer around, his dreams and products live on in Boulder Sausage.
