This is new! Zaycon Foods has upcoming Illinois pickups for Carve Master Boneless Smoked Ham and Sausage Links.
Again, if you’re not familiar with Zaycon Foods,
- They sell fresh meat products by the case.
- Head to local pickup locations at a specified date and time to pick up your order.
- They schedule events across the country; and were last in IL with chicken only this past fall.
- Here’s my review last year of their chicken, if you’re curious and want to see some pix!
- They’ve never had a ham/sausage event here, so can’t speak to that yet.

Has anyone brought the ham and sausage before? Opinions?
Just picked up my Zaycon order of breakfast sausages on Tuesday 2/26/13. They are probably the best sausages I’ve ever had. They cook up nice and brown, the texture is soft/fresh and they have a slightly spicy tang at the end- excellent quality and taste. I would recommend for next time. I divided up the 20 pounds into 26 packs of 12 links.
