Lima Family Farms, Inc

Lima Family Farms, Inc operates USDA-inspected establishment M2033 at 86 Rainbow Hill Road in Hillsborough, Somerset County, New Jersey. The federal record lists both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing activities, with cattle and hogs slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as Very Small and places its slaughter volume in category 1, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is November 4, 2025. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, and the establishment reports retail-exempt sales.

The company website describes a family farm on roughly 400 acres of livestock and grazing management that began in 2007 when John Lima and his wife Kathy purchased 206 acres, starting with 17 cows and growing to 175 head of cattle plus turkeys, chickens, laying hens, pigs, a greenhouse, and a market store. The site lists John and Kathy Lima and Kate Kadri as owners and names staff including a butcher, cattle managers, pig and poultry managers, and produce staff. A milestone list on the About page records a 2023 event described as a newly built on-farm USDA red meat abattoir and hand-butchered facility. The site describes products as fresh, 100 percent grass-fed, regenerative, and non-GMO.

Contact details differ between sources. FSIS lists a phone of (267) 784-6999 for the establishment; the website lists (908) 336-8238 and hello@limafamilyfarms.com. The inspected establishment address on the federal record, 86 Rainbow Hill Road, also differs from the retail farm store address given on the website, 826 Amwell Road in Hillsborough. Portions of the website carry unedited template placeholder text, including references to unrelated services, an ISO certification claim, and duplicate founding dates of 2004 and 2007, so those items are not treated as facts here. Whether the plant takes in animals from other farms is not stated in either source.

Sold on-site at the farm store and, per the website, at select grocery stores and restaurants.

The website lists an on-site farm store at 826 Amwell Road, Hillsborough, NJ 08844, stocked with beef, pork, and poultry in the freezer and fridge along with seasonal produce and goods from neighboring farms and vendors, including lamb, dairy, honey, duck eggs, oats, peanut butter, bone broth, pasta, bread, cookies, and ice cream. A pricing page lists per-pound and per-dozen prices for beef, pork, chicken, turkey, sausage, organ meats, and eggs, and states that shoppers can buy on-site, call (908) 336-8238, or email hello@limafamilyfarms.com to place an order. The site notes that current availability is not guaranteed and that prices may vary at markets and retail stores, and that pre-orders and special orders can be placed by phone or email. A Thanksgiving turkey deposit is listed. Halves, quarters, bulk bundles, delivery, and shipping are not described in the sources.

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.
