One of our producers has to make a similar product, they couldn't ignore an opportunity to get a leg up on the competitors. Some of the local brands are just fantastic quality of meat. For example, I used to think that Jimmy Dean was about as good as breakfast sausage could get, until I tried Neese's and Bass Farm. That is high praise, coming from a guy that came from the home of Bob Evans (Rio Grande Oh.). Spoiler secret, only folks local to Gallia Co. Oh. know that the best sausage in the Evans family is actually made by Bob's cousin, Steve Evans.
If you ever find yourself in that area, I suggest trying and buying some Steve Evans Sausage.
I doubt that goetta gets to your neck of the woods. Much more of a regional thing, scrapple being its PA cousin.
Just buy it direct and have it delivered. You'll be glad you did.
