The company website describes Dean Sausage Company as a wholesale food supplier and manufacturer whose sausage products are sold in grocery stores across the Southern United States. The site states the business was founded in 1955 by Perk and Opal Dean, beginning with a home kitchen sausage recipe. The website describes the facilities as FDA-inspected, while the federal record lists the establishment under USDA FSIS inspection for meat slaughter and processing.

The website does not describe custom processing for individual farmers, a retail store at the plant, or online ordering. FSIS reports no custom-exempt activity at this establishment. A store locator page on the website notes it is under construction. Details beyond the federal record and the company website, including hours, are not yet on file.

The website presents the company as a wholesale manufacturer, with products sold in grocery stores across the Southern United States rather than direct to households. A store locator page is listed on the site but is described as under construction. No retail counter at the plant, no halves or quarters, no bundles, and no online ordering or shipping are mentioned in the sources.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
