Bryant,
My brother and I have gone in together and purchased grinders/ stuffers/ smokers, etc. Recently he has been making small 5-10# batches to find a recipe that we like. Since I have no desire to spend an afternoon or more processing meat, and stuffing sausage, I made this deal with him. I will provide all the meat, he does the work, I take 1/3 of the end product. To date our deal has worked out well. He treats the sausage making as a hobby, and I keep in the woods looking for more meat
This weekend a larger smoker is being built, something that will handle batches in the 2-300# range.
Most of his spices come from this place,
