Levee Way Processing LLC

Levee Way Processing LLC operates at 1561 Levee Way in North Pole, Alaska, in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The plant holds establishment number M40463+V40463 with USDA FSIS, with a grant of inspection dated December 21, 2021. FSIS lists it under meat slaughter and meat processing, plus voluntary slaughter and voluntary processing of meat, and classifies it as a very small establishment.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and elk or deer. The plant's reported slaughter volume category is under 1,000 head per year. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and reports retail-exempt sales.

The website on file is a third-party business directory listing for the same address and phone number under the name Mid State Meats. That listing describes categories of meat products, game processing, meat markets, and meat and fish markets, and names wild game processing and custom sausages and smoking as services, with beef, pork, lamb, and goat as products. It also states the location is a USDA inspected slaughter facility. The plant reports to FSIS under the name Levee Way Processing LLC. No company-operated website with hours, pricing, booking, or ownership details is on file, so details beyond the federal record and that directory listing are not yet available.

The plant reports to FSIS that it slaughters cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and elk or deer under federal inspection, and that it also performs custom-exempt slaughter, where the animal remains the customer's property and the packaged meat is marked Not for Sale. Producers who want inspected product they can resell should confirm which pathway applies to their booking. Reported slaughter volume is under 1,000 head per year and FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, so scheduling capacity is limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap terms are not stated in the sources on file. The listed phone number is (907) 488-0124.

Levee Way Processing LLC reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and the third-party directory listing on file places it in meat market and meat products categories, naming beef, pork, lamb, and goat, along with custom sausages and smoking. Whether a retail counter is staffed, and whether halves, quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are available, is not stated in the sources on file. Households should call (907) 488-0124 to confirm what is available.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
