Good Food Concepts, LLC

Good Food Concepts, LLC, doing business as Ranch Foods Direct, is a USDA-inspected establishment at 4635 Town Center Dr. in Colorado Springs, El Paso County, Colorado. It holds establishment numbers M27316, P27316 and V27316, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 26, 2021. FSIS classifies the plant as small and lists activities covering meat processing, poultry processing, and voluntary processing and slaughter of meat, poultry and rabbit.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer and returns packages marked Not for Sale. It also reports retail-exempt sales, which indicates meat sold directly to household buyers at the establishment. Species detail is not reported to FSIS.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary directory listings describe a selection of beef and pork sourced from an associated ranch, but that claim is not confirmed by the federal record. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and ownership, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists voluntary slaughter and processing for meat, poultry and rabbit, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, so animals owned by a customer can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale. Species detail is not reported to FSIS. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, per-head or per-pound fees, and cut and wrap specifications are not stated in any source on file. Farmers should call (719) 574-0750 to confirm what species and services are handled and whether work is being accepted.

Good Food Concepts, 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, which indicates meat sold directly to consumers. One third-party directory listing describes beef and pork sourced from an associated ranch, but no website is on file to confirm what is offered, and there is no information in the sources about halves and quarters, bundles, online ordering, delivery or shipping. Retail hours are not stated.

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.
