The Story
This Is Beepa's
Beepa was the nickname of Walter Hopper, a Beloit native and the grandfather of our founder, Justin Fjalstad. Beepa was the kind of guy who worked with his hands, grew what he ate, and believed food tasted better when it was shared. His garden was always full. His door was always open. And his way of doing things stuck.
How It Started
From Garden Rows to Mason Jars
Beepa showed Justin at an early age that good food doesn't need shortcuts. Years later, he started canning vegetables at home — the same way Beepa would've done it. No gimmicks. Just real ingredients and time put in.
Friends tried it. Then friends of friends. Pretty soon, one jar turned into another, and Beepa's grew from there.
In the summer of 2019, Beepa’s took its products to the Wisconsin State Fair and swept the awards. Against more than 100 entries, the results spoke for themselves.

What We Make
Made Local. Made Right.
Today, Beepa's makes jarred and canned goods right here in Wisconsin — Bloody Mary mix, sauces, salsas, pickled vegetables, chili starters, and more.
Every batch is made with the same mindset:
- •Only quality ingredients. No high fructose corn syrup.
- •Old-fashioned canning, done the way it’s supposed to be.
- •Support local farmers and producers whenever possible.
- •Make something you're proud to put your name on. Don't cut corners.
If it's not good enough for our own table, it doesn't leave the kitchen.
