Sausage..

[growalot]

So I contacted Wilsons...easy breezy...but thought I'd check out Steeles in Avon...things I would now know to look out for...one they vacuum and freeze...one you have to pick up immediately for they have no freezers...wonder how well that works out when they are very busy trying to process every thing...they also do whole deer...and prices way different....have to look up Grizzlies as well...

 

Now who has experience with sausage processors ...give a report for those of us that ...just don't have the time nor inclination to make our own this year...names...general info  and pricing

I'm not sure where you are so this may be a bit if a hike for you... or not... but as I put in another thread, East Fishkill Provisions Smoke Haus  venison processing is excellent.  They're located in Hopewell Junction.

Good to know Grow. Did Steele's vacuum and freeze?

Not sure what else is down your way grow but if you venture north Constanza makes venison products but does not butcher. I believe its a quality product and some say on the expensive side. Usually you get what you pay for, plus it around the corner so convenience is a plus for me.

Thanks..well even if too far for me there may be others out there looking...all the first hand reviews given will be great...

Here is the Steele web site...and the Wilsons as well Leaving for Wilsons now..

 

Yes I believe I've had Constanza's from a friend of ours..it was good...but he mentioned prices...Ouch...lol

Just check Steels and Wilson's to compare with Constanza. Price wasn't that different, some products more some less. Biggest difference was the minimum amount of venison needed to order a certain product. Costanza generally had a lower min lb. Of venison.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic but I have to mention - I did bratwurst & Italian this year and cooked some up at camp. First year I ever made my own.

Friggin turned out great

Ill add a thumbs up for costanzas. Buddies use them and man they always have good venison!

Pro-Cut over in Bloomfield does sausage, etc but Im not sure on prices. I used them to cut up my doe this year, as I couldnt do it myself for a reason or two, and they did an excellent job, and it was extremely fast. Cheapest price around too. If you pay cash, its even less. I wont hesitate to use them again if need be.

Ive used Constanzas in the past, great stuff but pricey. Ive had different things from Wilsons, and they make excellent stuff.
