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.

For farmers and ranchers

The federal record shows poultry slaughter and poultry processing under federal inspection at this location, with poultry the only species reported. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, so work done here would be expected to fall under inspection and be eligible for resale. Slaughter volume is reported in FSIS category 2.0, above the smallest tier, and the plant is in the agency's small size class. Booking procedures, scheduling windows, minimum bird counts, kill fees, chilling, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file and would need to be confirmed with the plant by phone.

Pigeon River Poultry LLC operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.
