“Morscher’s Pork Store” opened its doors back in 1957 in what
was then the heart of Ridgewood’s “Little Germany”. The founder
of “Morscher’s”, Josef “”Pepi”” Morscher had immigrated to
Ridgewood in the early 50’s from the German speaking area of
Slovenia formally known as “Gottschee”. He brought his sausage
making traditions of excellence with him and the rest as they say,
is history. Herbert Morscher (Josef’s cousin) eventually took over
the store and today Herbert’s son, Herbie and his partner Siegfried
“Siggy” Strahl (a partner here since 1983) continue to work hard to
keep this little piece of Central Europe alive in a neighborhood that
has seen many changes in the past 20 years.
