Like you I have been in the industry for over 40 years.
I'm a 3rd generation butcher/sausage maker who was lucky enough to be trained by my dad who immigrated from poland and all of the eastern european immigrants who he hired to work at his sausage company.
I am passing down my sausage making skills to anyone really interested in learning the craft and I have found a young talented store owner who I'm traning right now. He is a professionally trained cutting edge chef and meat cutter in Cleveland, Ohio who has a true desire to provided excellent customer service along with a top quality product. Together we are reworking my family formulas to meet the needs of our younger health minded customers. So far, so good.
Welcome to the Cub and I look forward to sharing information with you.
