Valley Sausage Co.
Ottawa, Canada
Butcher Will Thorne-Morris spent five years as a butcher at Sanagan's Meat Locker in Toronto before moving to Ottawa with Tamara Saslove, a dietitian and private chef with six years of product development behind her. Together they opened Valley Sausage Co., a two-person shop on Canotek Road where they grind, season, and stuff everything in-house. The rotating lineup covers bratwurst, mild and hot Italian, Cumberland, Mexican chorizo, honey garlic, cheddar jalapeño, chicken bacon, and kale sausage, with new recipes cycling through the weekly subscription bundles. They sell at pop-ups and markets across Ottawa under a dark blue tent and run sausage-making workshops for home cooks. Charcuterie (rillettes, pâtés, terrines) and tourtières are in the pipeline.
