About Pigeon River Poultry LLC
Pigeon River Poultry LLC is a poultry establishment in Howe, Indiana, in LaGrange County, operating under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number P3920. The federal record lists its activities as poultry slaughter and poultry processing, with poultry as the only species reported slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant in its small size class and places it in slaughter volume category 2.0, a step above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is June 26, 2026. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.
The website listed alongside this record, pigeonriverfarm.com, belongs to Pigeon River Farm, a 50-acre Braun family farm near Clintonville in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, established in 2003. That site describes pastured poultry, grass-fed beef, and pasture-raised eggs sold from the farm, not a processing plant in Indiana. Because the two are in different states with different names and contacts, the farm website is treated here as a likely listing mismatch rather than a description of establishment P3920.
Details beyond the federal record, including hours, retail sales, booking practices, and cut and wrap options for this Howe, Indiana plant, are not yet on file. Buyers and producers should contact the plant directly at the phone number in the federal record to confirm what is offered.
