Schneider's early years and employment in the local button industry before beginning to make and sell sausage door to door.

Most of the meat, at that time, came from 75-100 miles of the plant with expenditures on livestock averaging $30 million per year. Schneider shares that during the winter months approximately 1450 people work at the plant increasing to more than 1500 during busier times of the year, which may include summer students to cover staff vacations.
