Sustainable Meats LLC, doing business as Sustainable Meats, operates at 20555 S Pleasant Valley Rd in Kuna, Ada County, Idaho. The plant holds establishment numbers M47529 and P47529 and is listed with USDA FSIS for meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, and poultry processing. Its grant of inspection on file is dated September 8, 2022. FSIS classes the plant as Very Small and places its slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year.

The species reported to FSIS as slaughtered under inspection are cattle, sheep, and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer and returns the packages marked Not for Sale. Secondary sources describe the operation as a recently built slaughterhouse in the Treasure Valley offering USDA and custom processing of beef, goat, and lamb, and one listing describes it as a sister company of American Ostrich Farms launched to serve other small producers.

The plant is listed with FSIS for both meat slaughter and meat processing, and reports slaughter of cattle, sheep, and lamb under inspection. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer can have animals they own processed with packages marked Not for Sale, or use inspected slaughter for meat intended for resale. Secondary listings mention goat in addition to beef and lamb, along with USDA and custom processing and packaging described as premium. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources on file. Producers should contact the plant at (208) 995-8295 to confirm species accepted and scheduling, as listed.

Sustainable Meats 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.
