Kern's Sausages

Kern’s Sausages is a family-owned meat market in Frankenmuth, Michigan, operating since 1949 and now run by the third generation of the Kern family. The shop centers on handmade Bavarian-style sausages — including bratwurst, summer sausage, and many other traditional German sausage varieties — all produced and smoked on-site with hickory wood. Customers can also find fresh meats (beef, pork, poultry), bakery goods, European cheeses, and imported German food items, giving the store a broad old-world specialty-market feel.

Beyond sausages, Kern’s offers fresh-cut meats, specialty frozen meats, deli-style lunch meats, and a sizable selection of cheeses, breads, and German imports. Their offering appeals both to locals and to travelers visiting Frankenmuth, combining a traditional butcher-shop/meat-market feel with deli/grocery-style variety and heritage European-style products. The business also supports nationwide shipping, enabling customers across the U.S. to order their sausages and meats for delivery — making Kern’s both a physical meat market and an online retailer.
