The Lejeune family secret:  only the best ingredients, cleanliness, real wood, time, hard work, word of mouth…

and last but not least pride in product and pride in the family name.

This is a small family business that supports an extended family of three families and pays a living wage to an employee as well.

Interesting process and quality great tasting products.

Special order processing and smoking – your venison sausage.

Very friendly folk, very proud of their business, their product and who they are and what they do.

Cutting, trimming, weighing and grinding.
