Cluck Ya Poultry

Cluck Ya Poultry operates under USDA FSIS establishment number P3302 at 55 Industrial Drive in Gardiner, Kennebec County, Maine. The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing activities, a size class of Very Small, and poultry as the species slaughtered under inspection. The grant of inspection date on file is 2026-03-31, and the FSIS slaughter volume category is 4.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

According to the company website, Cluck Ya Poultry began in January 2025 after a dormant Gardiner plant became available, the previous processor having closed in 2024. The ownership group revived the facility, hired a team of roughly 38 people, and began processing in May 2025. The site describes air-chilled, antibiotic-free chicken raised on partner farms, and states a commitment to animal welfare and halal integrity, describing its product as halal-certified. Farm partners named on the site include Justice Homestead, a pastured Cornish Cross poultry farm in Vermont.

Orders are handled offline as listed. The website states it does not accept orders through the site yet and directs buyers to call (207) 203-0139 or email greg@cluckyapoultry.com to review the order sheet and place an order. The FSIS record lists a different phone number, (207) 776-8017, while the website lists (207) 203-0139 for orders and inquiries. The website addresses both wholesale and direct-to-consumer customers, though retail counter hours, pricing, and custom processing terms for individual farmers are not stated in the sources on file.

The federal record lists poultry slaughter and poultry processing at this establishment and reports no custom-exempt activity, so birds processed here would be handled under federal inspection rather than as custom-exempt work. The website describes a grower network of partner farms across the Northeast, including a pastured poultry farm in Vermont, and says partner farms must meet requirements for animal care, traceability, and freshness. Sourcing and partnership inquiries are directed to the contact form, phone (207) 203-0139, or greg@cluckyapoultry.com. Booking procedures, lot minimums, per-bird fees, and cut and wrap terms are not stated in the sources on file.

Cluck Ya Poultry 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.

The website lists retail and bulk case sizes, including whole birds at 3.5 to 4.5 lbs packed 5 per case, bone-in breasts, boneless skinless thighs, airline breasts, and wings in 10x1, 20x1, 40x1, and 20 lb or 40 lb bulk formats. Online ordering is not available as listed; the site states orders are handled offline until a storefront launches and asks customers to call (207) 203-0139 or email greg@cluckyapoultry.com after reviewing the order sheet. The site describes the chicken as air-chilled, antibiotic-free, locally sourced, and halal-certified. Whether there is an on-site retail counter, and whether delivery or shipping is offered to households, is not stated in the sources on file.
