I received an email about the sausage featured in the video a few days back…well…the Kielbasa was from Camellia’s at the Market…good stuff indeed! Family owned…local…
Here is Camellia’s history from their website…
Camellia Foods was founded in 1935 by Mr. Edmund Cichocki Sr., a Polish Immigrant who was a butcher for the Slawinski Meat Stand in the Broadway Market. In 1935 he began his own butcher shop at 725 William Street making his traditional family polish sausage and ham recipes with his wife, Gertrude. Edmund Sr. moved his business to 1333 Genessee St. to expand into a manufacturing plant and named his business after his daughter, Camille. His son, Edmund Jr., grew up in Buffalo and went to St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute. He joined his father in the meat business after High School and took over in 1974. Edmund and his wife Kathleen had six children, three of which, entered Camellia with their Father in the 80’s. Peter, Patrick and Erik now continue to run Camellia Foods after Edmund passed away 2007. The third generation Cichocki family continues to carry on the tradition of delivering quality sausages and hams to the Buffalo area.
