A processor for small producers
Clear options. Careful handling. Dependable service.
Finding a USDA-inspected meat processor that works with independent farms can be difficult. Underground Processing provides a regional option for producers who need poultry, pork, goat, lamb and sheep, rabbit, and selected specialty processing.
Depending on the species and intended use, services may be available under USDA inspection, custom processing, or another applicable program. Our team can help you identify the right path for your animals and market plans.
