History
Conecuh sausage was first created by Henry Sessions, who founded the company Sessions Quick Freeze in 1947. Sessions initially founded the company as a meat locker but later began producing smoked meats including Conecuh sausage. The sausage became a local staple, and is the center of a sausage festival held annually in Evergreen, Alabama. In 2015, the company produced between 30,000 and 40,000 pounds of sausage each day.
