Naturally New Mexico Food Products LLC

Naturally New Mexico Food Products LLC operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M34265 at NM State Hwy 554, #1138B, El Rito, New Mexico, in Rio Arriba County. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of October 1, 2021. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with resulting packages marked Not for Sale. Its FSIS slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest reporting tier of under 1,000 head per year.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no hours, pricing, booking practices, retail offerings, ownership details, or product list have been verified. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file. A secondary directory listing describes the business as providing slaughter and processing services in El Rito serving Rio Arriba County, and a federal contractor listing shows a mailing address of PO Box 52, El Rito, NM 87530.

For a producer hauling animals, the federal record shows this establishment is listed for slaughter of hogs, sheep and lamb, and goats, under both federal inspection and custom-exempt arrangements. Under custom-exempt work the animals remain the customer's property and the finished packages are marked Not for Sale, while federally inspected slaughter allows meat to be sold. Booking lead times, scheduling windows, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging or aging capacity are not stated in any source on file. Producers should contact the plant at (505) 581-4576 to confirm species handled, availability, and whether it is accepting work.

Naturally New Mexico Food Products 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.
