These workshops teach you how to make several different kinds of sausages and salami from scratch, in your own home. Also, learn how to smoke your sausages. Nothing beats fresh homemade sausage that you made with your own hands. You know exactly what went into your great-tasting sausage, and how it was made. Sausage is a great and tasty way to use up the extra venison, elk, pork, beef, lamb, and other meats you might have in excess. Hunters take note! Also, the beginning class is great for corporate team-building.
The classes are taught by our in-house expert sausage maker in historic Albany, Oregon. He has many years of experience making and smoking homemade sausages, salamis and other cured meat.
We offer three classes: beginning sausage making, advanced sausage making, and Vegan sausage making. The tuition for the beginning or advanced class is $95.00. The Vegan class costs $50.00. The price includes all materials. We offer a ten percent discount if taking both beginning and advanced courses on the same weekend. Snacks and beverages are provided in all classes. In each class, we make at least two types of sausages. Students will be taking home the "fruits" of their labors: bring a small cooler. See syllabus below for more information on class content.
