Nature’s Last Stand has a diehard following. The farm has gone through a few iterations since it began at the University District Farmers Market 25 years ago. These days, John and his partner Caroline have had to pivot yet again as restrictions due to COVID-19 make it impossible for John to sell breakfast sandwiches at market. You can still find their globally inspired hand-crafted sausages, like their takes on the Filipino loganisa sausage, the North African merguez lamb sausage, and their Spicy Thai sausage, at market and online. Read on to learn more about this beloved farmers market staple, and how you can support!
