German Sausage and Family

Mike and I believe in family and community, which is why we admire the Meyer’s family. Every year the Meyer family gets together before Christmas to make their own special family recipe of smoked German sausage. They’ve been supplying the community with this awesome blend for some 40+ years. While Mike did graduation weekend at the restaurant, I had the good fortune to be with the Meyer clan making sausage! What an event! Meat is ground, links are make, sausage is smoked (400 pounds at a time in the smokehouse!) and then it’s wrapped and labeled for distribution to family and friends.  Friends drift in and out throughout the day, as the pellet stove roars, kids and grand kids play, and the music alternates between country and Christmas music.  The Meyer recipe is the closest I’ve had to my own family’s recipe and it always brings back wonderful memories of growing up and making sausage every year with my family. A special thank you to the Meyer’s family for including me, for creating wonderful family memories, and for making wonderful sausage for the community!
