These guys do it! Our out of the way, neighborhood market.
My favorite is the Cheesy Andouille.
On a bun, in an omelette, or as an hors d'oeuvre.
This is one sausage that can't be beat.

Wow, you're serious. I thought it might be some kind of sideways reference to something else.
We've got a little diner up here in "downtown" Twain Harte that makes it own breakfast sausage. When he's staying here to climb, Squiddo (of Mudn'Crud) gets up early to go eat there! He raves about their specialties. My girls and I go to the Sugar Shack instead (partially because we can walk there).
Maybe we could substitute some of this local sausage for a "steak and a beer?" That'd make me look forward to Pinns season even more.

I live a couple miles from Corralitos Market. Fun place and a 'must-stop' for many visiting this incredibly productive agricultural region. I find that Corralitos sausages taste too similarly and actually like Freedom Meat Locker more; it is also a couple miles from me. Both these places are real whole-animal butcheries in the southern part of Santa Cruz County, CA. Freedom Meat will take wild game and farm raised animals, even arrange slaughter.
But if want real classic deep whole-animal charcuterie, specifically sausage making, go to the famous:
www.fattedcalf.com
and specifically for sausage:

Incredibly productive agriculturalists having sausage, BACON, ham, across from Middle Earth this morning...no tofu allowed.
Gent on the stool is an incredibly productive cotton farmer, Chewy.
Best local sausage is from Los Banos, from an incredibly gifted guy named Wolfsen who lives "over there."

They should outlaw all the fake sausage out there or at least put
warnings on the package that say
"Tastes like genuine sawdust with a hint of apple" "100% pork free!".

Peter, we are sausage brothers from another mother. My son in law prefers Freedom Meatlocker.
I am addicted to Corralitos Market though. Meat and beer prices have jumped recently so I am hunting sales.

Looks fun Ghost and delicious. Haven't made any but will have to try it. Got a recipe recommendation or are they trade secrets?
Brad, I'll have to give that diner a visit next time we are up.

In the time he lived at Sunset Inn (Bill & Lauren's place on Hwy 120), the Rev had a fine garden plot. One year he and his lady of the moment decided to raise two pigs, Porky and Spam, so they could eat more pork products free from adulteration.
They place the pigpen on the other side of the garden fence. It was TOO CLOSE TO THE CABIN. They suffered all summer long from the aroma.
Whether they made sausages, I don't recall.
His lady was named "Cow" Patty when he first started going out with her. By the time she moved in, she'd lost all her excess from having to keep up with him on XC skis, biking, and running.
