Riverview Meat Company, LLC

Riverview Meat Company, LLC operates at 312 W Pearl Street in Cynthiana, Kentucky, in Harrison County. The plant holds establishment number M21190 with USDA FSIS for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection dated July 14, 2021. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the under 1,000 head per year category.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales. The company website describes the business as locally owned and quality focused, and a page on that site states that Riverview Meat Company began as a processing facility that has grown into retail. A social media listing associated with the business references a second address at 140 East Pike Street in Cynthiana; the address on file with FSIS is 312 W Pearl Street.

The plant reports both USDA-inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, so animals brought in may be handled either under inspection for resale or as custom work with packages marked Not for Sale. Species reported as slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. FSIS lists the operation as very small, with slaughter volume under 1,000 head per year, so scheduling capacity is likely limited. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill and cut fees, and cut and wrap options are not stated in the sources on file.

Riverview Meat Company, 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.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, and its website states the business began as a processing facility and has grown into retail. A search snippet referencing the business mentions Riverview Meat Company bacon used by a local food seller. Specific retail hours, bundles, halves and quarters, delivery, shipping, and online ordering are not stated in the sources on file.
