Pitman Farms

Pitman Farms operates a USDA-inspected poultry plant at 1078 North Avenue in Sanger, California, in Fresno County. The establishment holds federal grants under numbers M27389, P27389, and V27389, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 11, 2018. FSIS lists its activities as poultry slaughter, poultry processing, and export certification.

The plant is classified by FSIS in the large size category, and its reported slaughter volume category is 5.0, the upper end of the agency's volume ranges. Poultry is the only species reported as slaughtered under inspection. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, which means the federal record does not show the plant processing animals that are returned to an individual owner for personal use.

The website on file, pitmanfamilyfarms.com, returned content about cash bids and grain prices rather than plant or product information at the time of fetching, so it could not be used to describe operations. A California Poultry Federation member listing associates the operation with Mary's Free Range Chickens and states that business has been family owned and operated since 1954. Beyond that, details such as hours, retail sales, custom booking, and cut and wrap options are not yet on file.

The federal record shows poultry slaughter and poultry processing under inspection, at a large-plant scale with a slaughter volume category of 5.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported, so the record gives no indication that the plant processes animals for return to an individual owner. Terms for growers or contract poultry arrangements, booking, minimums, and fees are not stated in the sources on file. Producers would need to contact the plant directly at (559) 875-9300 to learn what work is accepted, as listed.

Pitman Farms 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.
