Larry's Sausage Co., Inc.

Larry's Sausage Co., Inc. operates at 1624 Middle River Loop in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina, under USDA FSIS establishment number M8305. The federal record lists the plant for meat processing and meat slaughter, with hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classes the establishment as small, with a slaughter volume category of 2.0 and a grant of inspection date on file of July 20, 2021. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

The company's website describes a whole hog sausage business founded in 1952 by Larry Godwin Sr., who the site says bought three hogs and a piece of processing equipment at age 15. The site states the business is now under third-generation Godwin family leadership and that 90 percent of the team has been employed there for over a decade. Products are described as whole hog sausage made with a 70/30 lean-to-fat ratio, with no gluten, no MSG, and no nitrates except in the smoked line. The site says a full-time, on-site USDA inspector oversees production.

The stated customer base is distributors and food service operations across the Southeast, including food service chains, military installations, healthcare facilities, schools, universities, and restaurants. The website also invites local buyers in Fayetteville to stop by the office to purchase sausage during posted office hours. Nothing in the sources describes custom slaughter or cut and wrap service for farmers bringing their own animals.

The contact page states that people local to Fayetteville can stop by the office Monday through Thursday from 9am to 3pm to purchase sausage, with cash and all major credit cards accepted. A Facebook post referenced in search results mentions bratwurst and hot Italian sausage stocked for pickup. The company otherwise describes itself as selling through distributors and food service channels, and search text notes that patties and links are sold nationwide through food service. No online ordering, shipping, freezer bundles, or halves and quarters are described 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.
