Tyson Foods, Inc.

Tyson Foods, Inc. operates a poultry slaughter and processing establishment at 601 Tyson Drive in Green Forest, Arkansas, in Carroll County. The plant holds establishment numbers M112 and P112 and is listed with USDA FSIS for poultry processing and poultry slaughter, with a grant of inspection date on file of December 20, 2019. FSIS also records the operation under the alternate business names TSD Sales and Distribution, Tyson Poultry, Inc., and Tyson Sales and Distribution, Inc.

FSIS classifies the establishment in its largest size class and places it in slaughter volume category 5.0, the highest of the reported categories, indicating a high annual head count. Poultry is the only species reported as slaughtered under inspection. No custom-exempt activity is reported, meaning the federal record does not show the plant taking in animals owned by individual farmers for return as uninspected personal-use meat.

No website is on file for this location. Secondary directory listings describe Tyson Foods as a processor of chicken, beef, and pork products, including fresh, frozen, and fully cooked items such as chicken wings, nuggets, patties, and steak fingers, and give a founding year of 1935 for the company as a whole rather than for this plant. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, retail sales, and any arrangements for outside livestock or poultry, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing at this establishment and reports no custom-exempt activity, so nothing on file indicates that individual growers can book animals for private custom processing here. Large integrated poultry plants of this size class typically process birds under company contracts, but this establishment has no website on file and no booking, scheduling, minimum, or cut and wrap information is stated in the available sources. Farmers should contact the plant directly at (870) 438-7150 to ask what, if anything, it accepts.

Tyson Foods, Inc. operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

No retail counter, direct sales program, bundle pricing, delivery, shipping, or online ordering is stated in the sources for this location. Secondary directory listings describe Tyson Foods branded chicken items sold fresh, frozen, and fully cooked, but those are company-level descriptions of products distributed through retailers, not a statement that this plant sells to the public. Households should not assume on-site sales.

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.
