As consumers turn more and more often to grocery stores for their fully cooked meals, they think back to the homemade meals of their youth. They long for meals the way their parents or grandparents made them. In the case of Mulay’s Sausage, the founders went as far as to re-create an old family recipe and turn it into a popular brand that is through throughout the country.
The idea to enter the meat business started with a couple of self-described ski bums found themselves at a New York City street festival. After trying one of the sausages and finding it pretty poor quality, Lorree Weisman and her husband Ward decided on the way back to Crested Butte, Colo. to make a batch of her grandmother’s sausage for a Fourth of July festival.
