Beef Processing
Beginning summer 2026!
*Please note, livestock processing will open this summer. We are waiting for our custom rail system to be delivered. If you are interested in touring the space or getting on our schedule for the summer, please give us a call at (507) 524-1112!
Our meat processing facility in Mapleton, MN is built for efficiency, quality, and animal care. We utilize a state-of-the-art rail system, a 1,500-square-foot drip cooler, and a large hanging cooler to ensure proper handling, optimal chilling, and consistent results from start to finish. We will be USDA certified in 2027.
We partner with local farmers and livestock producers to provide whole animal processing for beef, pork, lamb, and goat. Our facility is designed for high-capacity processing, allowing us to serve producers who require reliable volume, precise cutting, and professional handling.
Designed with producers in mind, our setup supports a smooth livestock drop-off process, with easy access for livestock trailers and a chute system that makes unloading safe, efficient, and low-stress.
Call (507) 524-1112 to reserve your processing date.
