Simon Tiedge

Simon Tiedge was born and raised in a small town in Germany, where hunting access is limited, but wild game can be bought in stores and enjoyed in restaurants. Preparing food has been a passion of his for a long time, and only grew more important to him when he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2011. He began searching for ingredients and foods that he had grown up with in Germany and had enjoyed during his travels abroad. When he couldn’t find some things he took matters into his own hands and started baking bread and making cheese, but still the wild game he loved had eluded him. In 2019, with his new hunting dog Shooter out front, he closed the circle to supply his own meat by hunting the public lands of the USA. Today Simon lives in a small town in Minnesota with his wife and 2 dogs and creates wild game meals out of all the memories that fill his freezer.
