Lottie's Meats "Best Small Brand" in 2026 Best of Misfits Awards

We won a Misfits Market Best Of Award!

What does it mean?!

"The best groceries aren’t always the most famous. Sometimes they’re the stunning pancake mix you’d never find on a traditional Big Grocery shelf, the unbelievably delicious sausage from a family-owned brand you haven’t heard of yet, or the flavor-packed butter that makes you stop and ask, wait—why hasn’t this existed until now?

For the second year running, we went digging through our entire grocery selection—produce, snacks, meat & seafood, pantry staples, our own brand (Odds & Ends), and beyond—to crown the products our team and our customers can’t stop reaching for. This year we curated more winners across more categories than ever before, and every single one earned its spot for good reasons: it tastes incredible, it comes from a producer worth knowing, and you almost certainly wouldn’t have found it anywhere else."

Best Small Brand: Lottie’s Smoked Signature Sausage

Sisters Cassie and Chelsey Maschhoff grew up on their family’s sixth-generation hog farm before building Lottie’s—named for their family’s matriarch. The Lottie itself is made from whole-muscle pork loin and shoulder (no fillers, no mystery trimmings, no artificial anything), seasoned with nutmeg, paprika, and coriander, and smoked to a snap-when-you-bite-it finish. It’s fully cooked, so a quick sear in a splash of water or beer is all it takes to get that signature caramelized crust. This is exactly the kind of small-brand story that deserves a bigger stage, and we’re proud to help give it one.
