The dream began in 1959 when Felix and Billie Mae Janecka started producing his grandfather's old-world Czechoslovakian recipe. The couple hand-cranked 1000 pounds of sausage per week in a nondescript building in Waelder, Texas. Their hard work and dedication blossomed into a business that today produces some of the finest sausage products in Texas. Texas smokehouse small batch craft sausage is an example of the rich flavor and quality of traditional butcher shop sausage our sausage has a superior taste and texture thanks to the highest quality ingredients and traditional old-world. Small-batch production methods. Enjoy! - The Janecka Family.
