Making Quality Food for Over 55 Years
The Captain
It all began with exceptional beans.
At many Fire stations, it is customary for firefighters to take turns cooking meals for fellow crew members, and Captain Ken Freiberg was famous for his oven-baked beans & bacon. The news of these delicious beans spread, and soon people throughout the neighborhood stopped by asking for a taste. After successfully selling his beans & bacon during the mid-1960’s at a food stand at the annual Minnesota State Fair, Ken retired from the fire department and in 1967, launched Captain Ken’s Foods.
