International Women s Day is today, March 8, and while women s accomplishments could be celebrated every day of the year, this is a good time to shine a light on a Colorado success story in an industry typically dominated by men. Mulay s Sausage, founded by Loree Mulay Weisman and headquartered in Longmont, is breaking down barriers in the meat industry for future generations of women.
Mulay Weisman s sausage company has its roots in festivals and farmers markets in and around Crested Butte, where she and her then-boyfriend (now husband), Ward Weisman, were ski bums working multiple jobs to make ends meet. In July 1990, Mulay Weisman ordered 100 pounds of meat, plus casings and spices, through local restaurant sources and began cranking out sausages with a KitchenAid mixer using her nana’s Sicilian recipe. She sold all of that 100-pound batch in four hours at the Crested Butte Independence Day festival.
