Hello Link Lab friends,

We have kept ourselves very busy these past couple of weeks! As business continues to grow, and as great sausage continues to be produced (and eaten), we have been fortunate to receive some very nice press.

Link Lab in the News

In May, Matthew Amster-Burton, author of Hungry Monkey wrote a great story about Link Lab Artisan Meats for mint.com. If you haven’t had a chance to read the article yet, please enjoy it. http://www.mint.com/blog/goals/sausage-garage-startup-05172011/

New Website

With the help of an extremely talented designer, developer, and writer, Link Lab Artisan Meats launched our new website recently. As with any website, it will continue to evolve, but this is an outstanding starting point, and everyone is excited about our new web presence. www.linklabartisanmeats.com

New Farmers Market

Link Lab has been participating in a great new farmers market hosted by Virginia Mason Medical Center on Friday afternoons. We’re selling sausage and working alongside several vendors who offer pasta, artisanal cheese, pie, local produce, and amazing baked goods. Market visitors have been really enthusiastic about the variety of products, and their ability to buy an entire dinner menu of great stuff to be cooked at home. Thank you to everyone who has supported Link Lab at Virginia Mason, and to those of you who haven’t come by it by yet, I hope to see you all sometime soon.

Martiny Livestock in Concrete Washington now sells Link Lab Sausage made from their farm’s own lamb and beef. If you’re looking for a convenient weekend destination to buy sausage, go visit Linda at the Edmonds Farmers Market (Saturday) or the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market on Sundays. You can read more about this “Martiny & Link Lab” partnership in a recently published story in My Edmonds News.
