FSIS classifies the establishment as very small and places its slaughter volume in category 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year.

A secondary business listing describes the operation as USDA federally inspected processing, custom processing, and a retail butcher shop, and another listing states that beef, pork, and chicken are handled.

The FSIS directory lists the phone number as (301) 616-8433, while business directories list (270) 200-4224. Buyers and producers should confirm current phone, hours, species accepted, and availability directly with the plant.

The establishment is listed with FSIS for meat slaughter and meat processing and reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb under inspection, which allows resale of the resulting product. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, where the animal remains the customer's property and packages are marked Not for Sale. FSIS places annual slaughter volume under 1,000 head, so scheduling capacity is limited. Booking windows, minimums, cut and wrap options, hanging fees, and kill day schedules are not stated in any source on file and should be confirmed directly.

Farmstead Butcher Block 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.

A secondary business listing describes a retail butcher shop at this location, and the establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS. Another listing states that beef, pork, and chicken are among the meats handled. Specific bundles, halves and quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering are not described in any source on file.
