Classic Farms LLC

Classic Farms LLC, doing business as Marble Mountain Meats, is a USDA-inspected establishment at 11518 Oro Fino Rd in Fort Jones, Siskiyou County, California. It holds establishment number M50802 and appears in the FSIS directory for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of September 25, 2023. FSIS classes the plant as very small.

The federal record lists cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection, and places the plant in slaughter volume category 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no additional descriptive text was available. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, product lists, and ownership history, are not yet on file. The listed phone number is (831) 449-7822.

The federal record shows cattle slaughter under inspection as well as custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer may be able to have animals harvested either under inspection for resale or custom for personal use with packages marked Not for Sale. The plant is classed very small with a reported slaughter volume of under 1,000 head per year, which suggests limited capacity. Scheduling, lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, hanging and aging practices, and species other than cattle are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (831) 449-7822 to confirm what work is being taken, as listed.

Classic Farms 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, which generally allows direct sales of meat to household customers. Whether a retail counter is open to the public, and whether halves, quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are offered, is not stated in the sources on file. Households interested in buying should contact the plant directly at (831) 449-7822.

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.
