Local MeatNational Registry

Registry search

Find local meat near you

Start with the processor. Every farm that sells you meat by the cut, or processes an animal you buy, uses one of these plants. Find the plants within driving distance, then ask them which farms they cut for. That question is how locals have always found the good beef.

Step 1

Find plants within range

Filter to custom-exempt if you plan to buy a whole, half, or quarter animal from a farm.

Step 2

Call and ask who they cut for

Small plants know every farm that hauls to them. Many keep a list of producers with animals to sell.

Step 3

Check the state rules

Shares, on-farm poultry, and state inspection differ by state. See your state page.

Distances are straight-line from the coordinates FSIS publishes for each establishment. City search matches cities that have a plant in the registry; if your town is not listed, try the nearest larger town or use your location. No location data leaves your browser.
