Chipola Meats Processing LLC

Chipola Meats Processing LLC operates at 3683 Hwy 273 in Graceville, Jackson County, Florida, under USDA establishment number M1800. The federal record lists the plant for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing activities and places it in the Very Small size class, with a grant of inspection date on file of August 28, 2026. Species detail is not reported to FSIS. The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it also handles animals that remain the property of the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. Kosher slaughter is also reported to FSIS.

Public descriptions of the business call it a locally owned meat market and butcher shop, and its website section on custom processed meats states that the plant specializes in custom and USDA processing of beef, hog, goat, and sheep. A social media listing for the business refers to alligator processing being done at the facility. Beyond these items, the establishment's own website text was not available when this record was compiled, so booking procedures, pricing, cut and wrap options, hours, and ownership history are not yet on file. Farmers and household buyers should contact the plant at (850) 220-5050 to confirm current services and availability, as listed.

The federal record lists Chipola Meats Processing for both slaughter and processing, and the plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, so animals owned by the customer can be handled with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. The website's custom processing page states the plant handles custom and USDA processing of beef, hog, goat, and sheep. Booking lead times, scheduling windows, kill day frequency, minimums, hanging weight fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file. Species accepted are not reported to FSIS, so producers should confirm directly by phone at (850) 220-5050 before hauling animals.

Chipola Meats Processing 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 business is described in public listings as a locally owned meat market and butcher shop in Graceville, and the plant reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which is consistent with selling meat directly to customers. Retail hours, specific bundles, halves and quarters, delivery, shipping, and online ordering are not 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.
