NGF Processing, LLC

NGF Processing, LLC, doing business as Nature's Gourmet Farm, operates at 367-A Mckenzie Rd in Petal, Mississippi, in Perry County. The plant holds federal establishment numbers M46730 and P46730 and appears in the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service directory with a grant of inspection dated April 16, 2021. FSIS lists it under four activities: meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, and poultry processing.

The establishment reports slaughtering cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and poultry under inspection. FSIS classifies it as a very small establishment, and its slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it can process animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale, and it reports retail-exempt sales.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary directory listings describe it as providing slaughter and processing services in Petal serving farms in the Pine Belt region, but details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and product lists, are not yet on file. Prospective customers should contact the plant directly at (601) 434-9081 to confirm current availability.

The plant is listed with FSIS for slaughter of cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and poultry, so a producer hauling any of those species is bringing animals to a facility whose federal record covers them. Both inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter are reported, so animals can be processed either for sale under the federal mark or returned to the owner in packages marked Not for Sale. The establishment is classed as very small with a slaughter volume category of 2.0. Scheduling lead times, kill day assignments, minimums, hanging fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file, so producers should call (601) 434-9081 to confirm.

NGF 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, which indicates some direct sales activity, and it does business under the name Nature's Gourmet Farm. However, no website is on file and no source describes a retail counter, halves and quarters, bundles, shipping, or online ordering. Households interested in buying should contact the plant directly 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.
