Frey Smoked Sausage, LLC is a family-owned business that officially began in July 2007 in Mowata, Louisiana. Founded by Ralph and Charlotte Frey, what started as a long-standing family tradition quickly grew as friends and extended family experienced—and asked for more of—our unique sausage recipe.

The original Frey Sausage recipe dates back to the early to mid-1900s and was created by Ralph’s father, Winston. Blending his German heritage with a deep respect for true Cajun culture, Winston developed a bold, authentic Cajun sausage that has been passed down through generations and remains the foundation of Frey Smoked Sausage today.

For many years, the Frey family gathered several times each winter to make sausage together, sharing both the work and the tradition. As demand grew beyond family and friends, the decision was made to bring Frey Sausage to a wider audience through a small-scale retail venture. In early 2009, Frey Smoked Sausage received final approval from the USDA, marking an important milestone in the company’s growth.

Today, Frey Smoked Sausage is proudly registered with the State of Louisiana as a Certified Cajun product. Our sausage is made using lean, premium 100% pork, a unique blend of true Cajun spices, and absolutely no fillers—ever. Guided by strong family values and a hard work ethic, we invite you to enjoy the same tradition and flavor that has brought people together for generations.
