Maple Brook Packing

Maple Brook Packing operates at 9 Wells Road in New Milford, Connecticut, in the Western Connecticut Planning Region. It holds federal establishment numbers M1745, P1745 and V1745, with a grant of inspection date on file of August 29, 2025. FSIS lists the plant under meat processing, meat slaughter, poultry processing, and voluntary rabbit slaughter and processing. It is classified by FSIS as a very small establishment.

The plant reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under federal inspection, and reports halal slaughter to FSIS. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest reported band of under 1,000 head per year. Maple Brook Packing also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and returned in packages marked Not for Sale, as well as retail-exempt sales.

The establishment's website on file is a Facebook page, and no site text is available for this record. Secondary listings describe halal meat and appointment scheduling for Eid, which is consistent with the halal slaughter reported to FSIS, but details on hours, pricing, cut and wrap options, ownership, and founding are not yet on file.

Maple Brook Packing reports both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so a producer can in principle have animals processed for resale under inspection or returned as custom product marked Not for Sale. Species reported slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb, and the plant is also listed for poultry processing and voluntary rabbit slaughter and processing. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap details are not stated in the sources on file, so producers should contact the plant at (860) 799-1875 to confirm what is available.

Maple Brook Packing 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 plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which generally allows direct sales of meat to household customers at the establishment. Secondary directory listings describe halal meat and appointment scheduling around Eid, which aligns with the halal slaughter reported to FSIS. No retail counter hours, product list, bundle or half and quarter offerings, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are stated in the sources on file.

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.
