Our small, special needs, women-owned & operated business began in October 2014 in Ripon, Wisconsin. The name “J’s BBQ” was inspired by my biological son, Jadon~ whom suffered a stroke at birth in 2007, and later developed Cerebral Palsy & a Grand Mal seizure disorder. For anyone who knows Jadon, he is a light and a presence that exudes spirit, hard work, perseverance & kindness. He is a one-in-a-billion souls, who brings good people together, offers hope in difficult situations & always wants what’s best for others. Selfless, in other words. He IS what most strive to be, and we are honored to be his mothers.
Our objective and ultimate goal was to create a respectable, recognizable brand that represented family, community, inclusivity, diversity & hospitality at its BEST! We would create a line of beloved products for the marketplace at large, that would provide a better balance for our special needs family. It’s 2023, and we are proudly and diligently working to build upon that goal!
We are dedicated to building positive relationships with manufacturers, co-packers, retailers, wholesalers & customers across the Midwest and beyond. We strive to make J’s BBQ a desired brand and product line throughout the foodservice industry & in homes across the Nation. We are forever grateful for the support, love and dedication of our customers, families, friends & team members. We would not be where we are today without each and every one of you!
