Flint Packers LLC

Flint Packers LLC operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M4069 at 834 St Route 26 West in Oglethorpe, Macon County, Georgia. The federal record lists the plant for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing and classifies it as Very Small. The grant of inspection date on file is August 21, 2026.

The plant reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it also reports retail-exempt sales. Its website describes Flint Packers as a locally owned and operated beef processing plant in Oglethorpe, Georgia, offering processing and packaging services to support locally grown and sustainably raised farm to table production. A processor directory entry describes it as a start-up cattle and hog processor that received $1.2 million in USDA funding to build and equip the facility. Species detail is not reported to FSIS.

Beyond these items, details are not yet on file. The website text available at the time of this record did not include hours, pricing, booking procedures, cut sheets, or a list of retail products.

The federal record lists Flint Packers for both slaughter and processing and notes custom-exempt slaughter, so animals owned by a farmer can be processed with packages marked Not for Sale for the owner's use. The website describes beef processing and packaging aimed at locally grown and sustainably raised farm to table production, and a processor directory describes the operation as a start-up cattle and hog processor.

Flint Packers 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.

Flint Packers reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which allows direct sales of meat to household customers at the establishment. The sources do not state retail counter hours, whether halves or quarters are sold, bundle offerings, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Households should contact the plant directly to confirm what is available.

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.
