TFC Poultry, LLC

TFC Poultry, LLC, doing business as TFC Poultry, operates at 103 Melby Ave in Ashby, Grant County, Minnesota. The plant holds USDA FSIS establishment numbers M34736, P34736 and V34736, with a grant of inspection date on file of October 25, 2021. FSIS lists the establishment as small and records activities of poultry processing, voluntary poultry slaughter, food inspection, and export certification. Species detail is not reported to FSIS, and no custom-exempt activity is reported.

The company website states that TFC Poultry specializes in deboning turkey thighs and can also offer other protein services and products to customers. The site says the plant uses x-ray and metal detection technology as part of its product safety controls. A company timeline on the site describes an opening in 2008 as a processor of backyard birds in the local area, a facility purchase and remodel in 2009 to become federally inspected, becoming a whole foods and organic facility with expanded capacity in 2010, processing up to 9,000 birds per day by 2013, transition to a deboning-only facility in 2014, expansion of the turkey thigh program with a niche in heavy trim production in 2015, water jets installed in 2017, water chilling and x-ray capabilities installed in 2019, the 2021 start of a sister company, Utopia Soils, to compost waste products, and a 2022 start of turkey thigh deboning at a sister plant in Winchester, Virginia.

The site is oriented toward business partners and freight carriers rather than individual buyers, listing pages for partnering, carrier information for both Ashby and Winchester, careers, and departmental phone extensions. Note that FSIS records voluntary poultry slaughter at the Ashby establishment while the website describes the plant as deboning-only since 2014. Details beyond these sources, including retail sales, custom processing for farmers, hours, and ownership structure, are not on file.
