Budd’s Bleu Story
Meet the 7 of us behind Budd's Bleu:
Drew, Dane, Curt, Micki, Julia, Soren & Teddy!
We’re all about traditions — our recipe has been passed down four generations. We love sharing good food with family and good friends!
Budd’s Bleu Gourmet Bleu Cheese Dressing and Dip is a secret family recipe started by Ron Budd. He was a longtime sailor, which is reflected in our sailboat in our logo, but more importantly he was an amazing dad, grampa, and great grampa to our family.
After Ron passed away, we realized that we had the perfect way to honor his memory. Our family banded together to make a plan to bottle the good stuff up and sell it! We launched our veteran-owned, woman-owned and family-run small business in 2022. Together, we’re creating a tasty product, honoring Ron Budd, and bringing together our family in hopes to bring joy to yours.
We are thrilled with the love that we have gotten from the Minnesota community for our product, and we are excited to grow to more areas!
