Voise Sausage, Odessa’s venerable supplier of the Biergarten during Deutsches Fest and of other loyal customers throughout the rest of the year, now has new owners. Darren and Kendrain Summers have purchased the business from Jason and Chandra Schumacher.

Last Friday was the day it became official with the signing of all the paperwork. With the purchase of the business, Darren Summers said, the meat processing plant of the Livestock Producers Cooperative Association, where he is the manager, will have a retail outlet for products from the plant. He said customers have been asking where they can buy a box of home-grown steaks and other local meats.

Summers’ son Ryland Summers will take over the management of Voise Sausage, and current employee Mark Sebesta will continue in that capacity. With the two operations “all in the family,” so to speak, Darren Summers says he hopes to meet the growing demand for locally produced food.

As far as plans for this year’s Deutsches Fest, Jason Schuhmacher says he will handle supplying and scheduling of the Biergarten sausage booth, since all of the preparations were made prior to the sale of the business.

For their part, Darren and Kendrain Summers plan to have a booth set up outside of the Voise Sausage plant, where they will serve food and have retail products for sale. Plans are to maintain the current product line that is so popular with customers throughout the area, so no one need fear that their favorite Voise Sausage product will no longer be available. At the same time, the new owners plan to begin offering new products as they see the demand developing.

Darren Summers said that in this era of tight credit, obtaining a loan for the purchase of Voise Sausage was not an easy task. Things finally worked out in their favor, however, and they are ready to begin pursuit of this new venture with great enthusiasm. Check out their booth at Fest!
