Why do we love them?

Our hot Italian sausages are locally sourced from J&A Turner Farms, where hogs are their specialty. Italian sausages are a great source of protein, as you can see in the above nutrition facts. However, they should only be eaten in moderation because they are high in saturated fats and calories.

Since sausages are considered processed meats, we recommend that you purchase them from trustworthy sources, such as local farmers. In the United States, ingredients for specific sausage labels are strictly regulated, so you can know exactly what you are buying.
