USDA Inspected Processing

Our USDA processing is a perfect option for anyone that is looking to sell their meat at farmers markets, to restaurants and in stores. After the animal is harvested, we will process it according to your specifications to insure you get only the cuts you and your customers want. The cuts are then packaged according to your specifications. Each package will have the USDA inspected logo on it, along with your business name and any business information you may want on the label. Each package is clearly marked with the contents of the package and the net weight of the package, then boxed. Each box is labeled with the total net weight and total number of packages each box contains. We also provide a wide range of value added products that we can produce from your products, such as bacon and various sausages. We take pride in providing you with quality service that will not only keep you coming back, but will also keep your customers coming back to you.

To all of our USDA customers, it is our business to keep you in business. Without you, there would be no us!

Support your local farmers and farmers markets.
