Meet Our Owner
Tony Meives grew up in his parent's cheese factory in Browntown, Wisconsin. Tony regularly drank raw liquid whey, the byproduct of cheese, since before our cheese factory ever started dehydrating it into powder form.
With absolutely zero genetic advantage, Tony quickly grew to love fitness at 17 years old and competed in his first of 9 natural bodybuilding shows at 22.
Tony opened Badger Fitness, a 24/7 gym in Madison, WI, in 2013. The gym has helped thousands of individuals and Tony has personally worked with hundreds on nutrition and weight training.
Deep Farm Roots
Tony's family migrated from Switzerland to Wisconsin in 1954 to make cheese.
Our Wisconsin-based family-owned business carries on the agricultural legacy by connecting you with the local farm for food-grade whey protein and micronutrient powders.
