So happy to find “The Sausage Maker”, I plan on doing sausages and will surely re-visit you all for my equipment and supplies.
This time I just needed Cure and you had the quantity I needed, I did not want to buy a bunch of little containers, I wanted bulk and you had it, not only that, you had the best price so it was win win 🙂
Got the chance to browse your other goods and equipment and like I said, when I get to making sausage, and I will be in a few months, I will surely come back and visit your site.
Other than that, Thanks for the bulk Insta Cure, the product was shipped in short order and packaged well, received quickly and in perfect condition, Thanks Again,
Guy

I am fairly new at sausage making – the right way – and this website and products really got me on the right foot.
The speed of the shipping was great – it arrived earlier than expected which made me happy.
