All recommended meat processing facilities are USDA Inspected. However, some meat
processing facilities clear vacuum pack the meat and place the weight, date and
name of the cut on the label while others wrap the processed meat in brown or white
paper prior to freezing. Most require an appointment which could be a month or more
out. So, if you are interested, we recommend you call the Processing Facility of
your choice to discuss the processing cost as well as their schedule. Some recommended
processing facilities are listed below as well as the NCDA&CS directory of all North
Carolina Meat processing facilities.
