Sugarloaf Mountain Meats and Processing

Sugarloaf Mountain Meats and Processing operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M1941 and P1941 at 2345 Sugarloaf Mountain Road in Morehead, Rowan County, Kentucky. The federal record lists meat processing, poultry processing, and poultry slaughter, with poultry as the only species reported slaughtered under inspection. The grant of inspection on file is dated June 28, 2024, and FSIS classifies the plant as Very Small. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, meaning the work on file is inspected rather than custom-exempt.

The plant has no website on file with this registry. Secondary listings describe the business as specializing in pastured poultry along with meat and poultry processing, and one directory listing gives a founding year of 2021. State business records list the entity as Sugarloaf Mountain Meats and Processing L.L.C. Details beyond the federal record and these brief third party listings are not yet on file.

Farmers and households should contact the plant directly at (606) 776-5766 to confirm species accepted, scheduling, and whether any retail or pickup sales are available, since none of these are documented in the sources here.

The federal record shows poultry as the only species slaughtered under inspection at this establishment, with a slaughter volume category of 3.0 and a Very Small FSIS size class. Meat processing is also listed, so further processing of other species may be possible, but the sources do not state which species are accepted for processing. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file, so growers should call (606) 776-5766 to confirm current availability and terms.

Sugarloaf Mountain Meats and Processing 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.

One secondary listing describes the business as specializing in high quality pastured poultry, and a social post snippet mentions pickup at the shop from 8 to 4 during that week. The registry has no website or price list on file, and there is no documented information about a retail counter, bundles, halves and quarters, delivery, shipping, or online ordering. Households should contact the plant directly to ask what, if anything, is available for direct purchase.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
