Years of Tradition
In the heart of Ayden, North Carolina, Sumrell's Country Sausage has been a cornerstone of the community since 1968. What started as a family passion for perfect seasoning has grown into one of Eastern NC's most trusted names in fresh sausage.
We don't cut corners. Every link is hand-stuffed, every batch is small-batch, and every recipe has been passed down through generations. That's why our customers keep coming back—year after year, season after season.
