Larry’s Sausage Story
In 1952, Larry Godwin Sr. bought three hogs and processing equipment at the age of 15. That vision became the foundation for three generations of sausage-making excellence. From that humble beginning, he built a reputation one customer at a time through honest work and uncompromising quality. As the business grew, generation after generation carried forward that same commitment, proving that doing things the right way never goes out of style.
Larry started with sausage patties, focusing on quality and consistency. Word of mouth built the business. That reputation has sustained us for over 70 years. While we’ve grown over seven decades, we’ve never wavered on what matters: premium whole-hog processing and a recipe free from gluten and MSG.
Treat people right. Refuse to compromise. That's been our philosophy since 1952. We create authentic Southern sausage for breakfast sandwiches and brunch plates, bringing people together around good food and sharing a taste of home. Soon, that taste will be on grocery shelves, ready for your own kitchen.
