I just heard about your product from my brother-in-law Jody Aycock and we are going to come and visit your store as soon as possible. Do you have a price list of your products posted on the web? If not could you email me back one? I have friends and family that I would like to send some of your product. Thanks

call lejune’s directly ~ this is just a travel blog ~ they do have good sausage!!
Great smoked sausage and pounces. The tasso is in a class of its own. As red as that shown in the picture and so tender you can make sandwiches or poboys with it.
Best sausage. Family and friends always ask us to bring them boxes of it when we go out of town. They are the sweetest people I know.
I remember when Mr. Kermit bought that house and started smoking meat. As a middle school student waiting for the bus was much more pleasant with that wonderful smell floating all around the neighborhood. YUM
I love all this so much, I live in Tucson,Arizona
Do you send to other states?
