No website is on file for this establishment, and secondary directory listings repeat the same federal details without adding specifics.

Farmers and households should call (616) 642-9212 to confirm current services and availability.

The plant is federally inspected under establishment numbers M10176+P10176 and reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb. It also reports custom-exempt slaughter, so producers can have their own animals processed with packages marked Not for Sale, alongside inspected slaughter for animals whose meat will be sold. FSIS lists the plant in slaughter volume category 2.0 and size class small. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, drop-off requirements, hanging weight charges, and cut and wrap fees are not stated in any source on file, so producers should call (616) 642-9212 to ask.

Jones Butchering and Meat Processing, 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 it does business under the names Jones Farm Market and Jones Farm Meats, which suggests a sales side to the operation. However, no website or retail listing on file describes a counter, product selection, bundles, halves and quarters, delivery, or shipping. Households should contact the plant directly at (616) 642-9212 to ask what is available.

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.
