Hooray! The Sausages are Ready!

Yesterday we got the call we’ve been anxiously awaiting! Don at Fraboni’s in Hibbing called to say that our sausage was ready for pick up. You may recall that Fraboni’s was making some sausage for us out of our meat, with their recipe and putting a Bear Creek Acres label on it for us to sell at Natural Harvest Food Co-op. After all the planning that went into it, we were so excited to pick up the finished product and hold it in our hands.

It looks so nicely packaged and inviting.  We brought it right to The Co-op. I hope it sells well.  I think it’s a wonderful alternative for folks who want to eat good, clean meat.  Of course, since it was made with our meat – it is hormone free and antibiotic free. The animals were humanely raised on pasture. It’s truly a local product.  Fraboni’s has been making sausage for  Rangers for decades and they really know their stuff.  Another consideration for some people (Ann at Natural Harvest clued me into this point) is that it’s nitrate free. Don explained that since it’s not a cured sausage there are no nitrates in it.  There are a number of people for whom this is a concern.

I like the fact that I know, and trust, what’s in it.
