Livingston County ANR joined forces with neighboring counties; Calloway, Marshall, McCracken, and Graves, to host a summer sausage-making class in Graves County. The event drew a diverse crowd, sparking overwhelming interest in Livingston County residents. Responding to demand, Livingston ANR hosted a class with exceptional turnout and enthusiasm. Participants, ranging from high schoolers to seniors, bonded over the hands-on experience of learning traditional meat preservation alongside modern techniques. Each family crafted three sausages from start to finish, fostering a sense of community and skill-sharing. 

The success of these classes has ignited a desire for more, showcasing the power of culinary tradition. Livingston County ANR's commitment to education and collaboration has sparked a newfound group of people excited for traditional knowledge.
