The Fine Print

No Surprises

18 lb minimum per flavor on all sausage and smoked products — that is what keeps the seasoning ratio right.

Smoked products come vacuum-packed at no charge. Choosing bulk bagging instead saves $0.50/lb.

Fresh cuts are wrapped in butcher paper. Vacuum-seal upgrade is $1.00/lb.

Pick up within 30 days of notification. After that a $6 per month freezer charge applies.

We Never Batch

One Deer At A Time

Most processors run several hunters’ animals together during deer season and everyone takes home a share of the pile. We don’t. Every deer is processed individually from intake through pickup — your trim becomes your sausage, your name goes on every package. Smoked over real hardwood in Turtle River, on the same equipment that makes the Stittsworth® retail line.

18 lb Minimum Per Flavor

Seasoning is blended to a ratio. Below about 18 lbs of trim the batch is too small to season accurately. Two flavors means 36 lbs of trim — plan on a big deer, or two.
