Sausage Making Classes

In these fun-filled classes, you’ll not only learn the skills to make sausages at home but also get to take home 4kgs of delicious, preservative free, free-range pork sausages which are made on the day.
We use free-range pork, sourced from producers who breed heritage pigs outside, where they are free to roam & forage, ensuring great flavoured pork.
Classes run from 9 am – 1 pm. Cost: $200 per person, with morning tea & lunch included.
