March 19, 2022 – Slinger, Wi – Ney’s Premium Inc., which carries certified all natural, free range Angus beef & Angus cross cattle, will open a new retail location in the coming months at 310 E. Washington Street, in Slinger.
Owner Doug Ney said he will be setting up shop in a familiar location in Slinger.
“We’ve been looking recently to have a better retail presence,” said Ney.
The current location of Ney’s Premium Inc. is off CTH K. “It’s not easy to find,” said Ney.
Ney has been leasing his current site, which also serves as a processing plant, for about 22 years. When he reviewed where he wanted to be as a business, he determined space was a growing issue.
“It seemed to be a very logical move. I’ve been looking in the tri-county area and I knew Derrick was selling and I was doing a lot of business with him, so it was a natural fit.”
Derek is Derek Van Alstyne, owner of Sweet Creations Village Bakery in Slinger. It was March 17, 2022 when the story was published about Van Alstyne closing his bakery and selling the building after nearly 22 years in business.
To Our Valued Customers.
There is an accepted offer to purchase on the building with the final sale to be held mid-April. I would like to thank you for 22 years of service. It is time for the next chapter of my life. The final day of business for Sweet Creations Village Bakery will be Sunday, May 8, 2022, Mother’s Day.Â

While Van Alstyne is looking to wrap things up in May, Ney is buttoning things up on his end.
In business since 1995, Ney carries a federal license with the USDA and has operated primarily online, supplied a variety of grocery outlets and universities, and has vendor stands at various farmers’ markets.
“We’ve got a pretty good, diversified portfolio of business throughout the state,” he said.
Questioned how many generations have preceded him, Ney said he believes it is up to five generations have passed through the business.
“My dad always worked full time on our home farm where I grew up. We raised steers and we were called Moonlight Acres because my dad probably slept three hours a night,” said Ney.
“We have a 100-acre farm there and raised and slaughter cattle and only sold meat off the farm. We also showed cattle and we raised dairy replacements and dairy cows for farmers.
“So, we would raise the calves up until six months old and sell them back to the farm. And then they would raise them or take them into their whole herd for breeding purposes, things like that.”
Ney said when he makes the move to Slinger, he will move everything, including the processing.
“It’s going to take some time to get licensed by the state, basically relicensed by the USDA, and they have to come and give their blessing,” he said.
On a side note, Ney is going to try to maintain a portion of a bakery inside the building.
“I’m working on a build out within the building; I’d like to maintain some sort of bakery presence there, which I agree, I think there’s been a huge following. It would be good for everybody to maintain what he currently built over the last 20 years.”
Ney said, he was eyeing up “a little bakery flavor” with something like “Meats and Sweets.” “I think that’s kind of our who we are,” he said.
